Australian Open : Who will win the mens singles title

Blake predicts Djokovic to win the men's championship. 

For good reason, he is the prohibitive favourite. He is in Australia and is a powerful player who wants to increase his Grand Slam total. Making ensuring he remains healthy will likely be his only challenge. If not, it will require a tremendous amount of work to overcome him in a match that is three out of five sets.

Drysdale: Djokovic. However, the younger generation is making strides, including, among others, Carlos Alcaraz (out with an injury), Jannik Sinner, Casper Ruud, and Holger Rune.

Djokovic is the favourite and the one to beat, according to Fernandez. He has a lot of confidence thanks to his nine Australian Open victories. He has also won the ATP Finals and the tournament in Adelaide, where he performed admirably and prevailed over some really challenging opponents. After being unable to play last year, he appears to be physically stronger and is tremendously motivated.

Djokovic is the overwhelming favourite and nearly as popular in Melbourne as Nadal is at Roland Garros, according to Goodall. The fact that Djokovic has been warmly greeted and will receive a lot of support in Australia, as well as everything that transpired there a year ago with the deportation fiasco, which is still very much fuelling his case, will help his cause ,

McEnroe: I predict Djokovic will triumph. He's been out there since September on a mission.

Whoever prevails in the men's quarterfinal encounter between Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic, says McKendry The 19th-seeded Kyrgios will not advance to the quarterfinals if the seeding hold. Yet I believe he will. In that case, the Wimbledon final rematch will be a must-see game. It's expected that Djokovic will progress and go on to win his 10th Australian Open championship. He is fully motivated by last year's disaster, and his hardcourt expertise is unrivalled.

Djokovic, says Shriver. The only thing that worries him is a hamstring issue, but considering his 15 years of success in Australia and his desire to forget his career's greatest nightmare from the previous year, he is still the obvious favourite. I suppose the anguish of being deported last year qualifies as an intangible. Djokovic is still the favourite despite everything.

Stubbs: Djokovic. After what occurred to him the previous year, I believe he has a lot to prove. I think he feels unbeatable over five sets in Melbourne, much like Nadal did in Paris.

Wozniacki: I anticipate Djokovic to prevail. It will offer you a significant advantage when a match is tight if you return to a site where you have won this much.Connelly: The real question is whether Djokovic has even better odds than Swiatek, not necessarily who will win. The men's tour is currently a bit of a messa nice mess, but a mess nonetheless.

Alcaraz has a wound. Since losing to Frances Tiafoe at the U.S. Open, Nadal has lost six of his last seven matches on the tour. He is still searching for his post-injury form. In 2022, Daniil Medvedev fell to Djokovic in Adelaide in straight sets and had his lowest overall win percentage in four years (70%). Ruud reached the US Open final, but in his last 12 matches, he has dropped seven. There might be a tonne of drama and story in any quadrant of the tournament that doesn't feature Djokovic. twists. But considering that Djokovic has won 26 of his last 27 games, all the controversy and doubt just serve to increase his favorability.

Hamilton: It's Djokovic's match to lose with no Alcaraz in the draw and Nadal still fighting his way back into the mix. Medvedev will challenge him all the way, but Djokovic will be aiming for Slam number 22 and will feel like he has something to prove after missing last year's tournament. The sole exception to this is if Djokovic's hamstring acts up and keeps him from establishing his form. But as we witnessed at Wimbledon, Djokovic, 35, is the best in the world at overcoming adversity, even when he has his back against the wall. Additionally, his draw is better than those of his competitors.

Kumar:  This one is simple. Djokovic. He didn't compete in the Australian Open or the US Open in 2018, but don't forget that he won one of the two Grand Slam events he did compete in—Wimbledon—and began his 2023 campaign in Adelaide. Even though he is not the top seed in Australia, Djokovic definitely holds the advantage over all other players in a five-set major.

Djokovic from Maine What a difference a year has, don't you think? After making the most of his short 2022 season and winning the title in Adelaide to start the new year, Djokovic could win his 22nd major championship at the conclusion of the next two weeks. He probably has a chip on his shoulder at this point.

David: Djokovic. Really, do you need an explanation in this case? The Djoker is undefeated in Australia, where he is presently riding a 34-match winning streak that includes three Australian Open championships. After the drama of 2022, Djokovic will undoubtedly be determined to show that he is still the best player in the world, despite what the rankings might indicate. By the end of the month, I wouldn't be astonished if he hadn't won his 10th Australian Open.

Walsh: Will Medvedev succeed a third time? Medvedev is fully aware of his weaknesses, which, let's be honest, are all above the shoulders. He came agonisingly close last year. Medvedev frequently loses himself amid crowds and difficulties to make an arrest.opposition momentum wanes and becomes preoccupied. He is simply too talented a player to lose in Melbourne. I'll support Medvedev in his efforts to perform at his best.
