Novak Djokovic - There are never enough tournaments to win for the all-time great, Novak Djokovic.

The Serbian has done so many great things for the sport of tennis, both on and off the court.

Making himself at home in nearly any event that he takes a part of, he will be looking to win everyone’s nods with a win at the Australian Open 2023.

His return to Australia is a great danger sign to the whole field of opponents, and they now must face this tournament head-on with no excuses.

As Nick Kyrgios has said, “any tournament won without Novak in it doesn’t feel right”.

Keeping it classy and making sure his emotions are used the right way, Novak has had some eruptions down under in the past.

2023 is a new season for Djokovic, why not start off with the absolute biggest bang possible?

Taylor Fritz - American Taylor Fritz has beaten nearly everyone in his path for the past six months or so.

Big serving and with big weapons to accompany, Fritz is becoming the player everyone predicted in earlier years.

Still with plenty of time to his name, Fritz has a great chance to make a deep run at this year’s Australian open.

Semi-finals or better is nearly expected at this point, and if he makes it past the first few rounds it will become possible.

Nick Kyrgios - NK is tuning into 2023 with a locked in mind set.

If 2022 was a preview of things to come, the talented Australian will have chances to do big things.

He will be able to focus match by match and take things to his standards. If possible, Kyrgios needs to ease into these rounds with calm play and match time.

Once he believes his confidence is ready, it will become a whole different ball game for the rest of the field.

If he is able to reach the later rounds with efficiency, this could be the slam run of a lifetime for Kyrgios.
