First a little surprise: Dennis Novak, who won the ATP Challenger tournament in Nonthaburi yesterday, is missing in the qualification tableau for the Australian Open 2023. Novak prefers to try to collect points elsewhere.
On the other hand, Jurij Rodionov will be there. the left-hander is seeded 15th and will play against Romanian Nicholas David Ionel. In case of a win against it for Rodionov either against Adrian Andreev from Bulgaria or the Italian Francesco Maestrelli.
Sebastian Ofner opens against Brazilian Felipe Meligeni Alves. Should the Styrian prevail in this game, the top seeded player of the qualification could wait in round two: Alejandro Tabilo from Chile.
Finally, Filip Misolic got number 32 on the seeding list. Misolic, who prepared in Günter Bresnik's training group in Tenerife, will play against Italian Gianluca Mager in round one. Possible opponents in the second round are Stefan Kozlov from the USA or the Ukrainian Oleksi Krutykh.
