Zheng Saisai and Naomi Osaka once met in the second round of the 2020 Australian Open women's singles competition, and Zheng Saisai and Naomi Osaka played two sets to lose 2-6, 4-6 to the defending champions. In addition, Wang Qiang will play against Roig in the first round.
In the men's singles, world number one Djokovic, who aims to win the annual Golden Slam, is played against Drien in the first round, and if he passes, he is very likely to face Struff in the second round. However, djokovic is not easy to reach the final or even win the Olympic gold medal in this Olympic Games. Hardcore players such as Rublev, Zverev and Medvedev will be the touchstone on Djokovic's path to victory. Two-time Olympic men's singles gold medalist Murray will encounter the new Alyassim in the first round, and the defending champion will not pass the first round. In addition, the hosts' Kei Nishikori will face Rublev in the first round. Despite the advantage of the home field, Kei Nishikori's first round was not easy to play.
