Sydney, January 13 (Xinhua) -- The 2022 Australian Open Tennis Championships signing form was released on the 13th. Although Dzhukovic's entry is still unsettled, he is still listed as the top seed in the men's singles.
In the men's singles, the top ten players in the world rankings are currently participating. Djokovic and No. 3 seed Zverev, No. 6 seed Nadal, No. 7 seed Berrettini, No. 10 seed Hulkach and No. 14 seed Shapovalov, who has just won this year's ATP Cup, were divided in the top half. No. 2 seed Medvedev, No. 4 seed Tsitsipas, No. 5 seed Rublev, No. 8 seed Casper Rudd and No. 9 seed Aliasim were divided in the bottom half.
Australia's immigration minister, Alex Hawke, has not made further statements on Djokovic's visa issue. If the Serb is successful, he will play against his compatriot, world number 78 Miocimil Ketzmanovic, in the first round.
In women's singles, among the top ten players in the world, Pliskova, ranked fifth, withdrew due to injury, and the rest of the players will participate. Top seed Barty and No. 4 seed Kreichkova, No. 5 seed Sakkari, No. 8 seed Bardoza and No. 9 seed Jabhur are divided into a half zone.

Chinese women's Zhang Shuai, Wang Qiang, Zheng Saisai, Wang Xinyu and Wang Xiyu, who holds wild cards, have all entered the main competition. Last year's Australian Open, a number of Chinese Jinhua regrettably stopped the first round, this year from the signing of the table, Chinese girls want to successfully break through or have a certain degree of difficulty.
Zhang Shuai will face World No. 42 Swiss Grobich, who has previously met three times in singles matches, with Grubić having the upper hand with two wins and one loss.
Wang Qiang and Wang Xinyu will face two American teenagers, Gao Fu and Ann Lee respectively. Gauff is the 18th seed in the tournament, and Ann Lee beat Zhang Shuai in the first round of last year's Australian Open. Zheng Saisai and Wang Xiyu will face two qualifiers each. (End)
