Rafael Nadal is set to be the top seed at the 2023 Australian Open, which gets underway in Melbourne on January 16.
The 36-year-old is the defending champion, having won his second title at Melbourne Park last year after beating Daniil Medvedev from two sets and a break down in the final. That triumph made Nadal the first male player to win 21 Grand Slam singles titles, breaking a tie with the now-retired Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

Nadal was set to be the second seed at the first Grand Slam of the year. However, with World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz withdrawing because of a freak injury in training, the legendary left-hander will be the top seed at the 2023 Australian Open. That also means that nine-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic, ranked fifth in the world, will be the fourth seed and cannot meet Nadal before the last four.
Casper Ruud will be the second seed and Stefanos Tsitsipas, whose Greece team lost in the United Cup semifinals to Italy, will be seeded third. Tsitsipas did win his match against Matteo Berrettini but Lucia Bronzetti’s win over Valentini Grammatikopoulou confirmed Italy’s berth in the final.

Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal will need to regroup quickly after starting the year with two losses for the first time in his illustrious career. The 36-year-old went down to Cameron Norrie of Great Britain and Alex de Minaur of Australia as Team Spain were eliminated in the United Cup before the semifinals.
