Stefanos Tsitsipas will face Mikael Ymer from Sweden in the first round of the Australian Open, after a draw that took place on Thursday morning (13/1).
Meanwhile, the Greek no.4 ranked weighed in on the Djokovic saga, whose fate is still undetermined as a decision about his visa status is being awaited, commenting about the world no.1 in an interview that “it seems like not everyone has been playing by the rules of how Tennis Australia or the government have been putting things play by the country’s rules while others do”. He added that every person has the right to do what they want with their body referring to the Covid-19 vaccines.
Ymer is in No. 82 in the world rankings and had a great run in the ATP Cup with the colors of Sweden in Adelaide.
Novak Djokovic is also in the draw for the Australian Open pending Immigration Minister Alex Hawke’s decision on whether or not to expel the Serb from the country.
The Australian Open is scheduled to start on January 17 and end on the 30th.
