Australian Open 2024 Entry List

The Australian Open 2024 final player roster remains unknown owing to probable last-minute withdrawals, with the competition expected to begin soon.

Fourteen slots for each draw remain undetermined from the preliminary round, even though the majority of spots in the draw have been given based on rankings.

The final list is influenced by protected rankings and exemptions, which are normally awarded because of inactivity resulting from injuries. Key stars in men’s tennis are absent, most notably Rafael Nadal, who pulled out of the Brisbane Open after tearing a muscle.

Reilly Opelka and Nick Kyrgios are also not present because of injuries to their wrists and difficulties with them, respectively. Dominic Stricker pulled out of the draw recently.

Notable names like 2019 US Open winner Bianca Andreescu, who sustained a back stress fracture, are absent from the women’s tournament.

Other absentees are Jennifer Brady, Karolina Muchova, Petra Kvitova, Madison Keys, Lauren Davis, Irina-Camelia Beguson, and Caty McNally. With an 11th Australian Open championship in his sights, Novak Djokovic is the clear favorite among men.

After missing the previous year’s Wimbledon owing to injuries, Carlos Alcaraz makes a comeback, having won a grand slam match against Djokovic in 2023. Aryna Sabalenka is defending her championship in the women’s draw, but there are some formidable opponents, including Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, and Elena Rybakina.

Invitations or Wild Cards for the Australian Open in 2024

Three players from Australia—Adam Walton, James Duckworth, and Marc Polmans—were invited to the competition, which has wild cards. After missing three years, Caroline Wozniacki is invited to compete in the women’s division as well, and Kimberly Birrell, Olivia Gadecki, and Taylah Preston gain wild cards.

In one of tennis’s most famous Grand Slam events, the Australian Open is expected to feature fierce rivalry as Djokovic and Sabalenka defend their titles and young guns and veterans fight for victory.
