Novak Djokovic plays qualifier in Australian Open opener

NEW DELHI: The draw for the Australian Open has set the stage for Novak Djokovic's quest for a record-extending 11th title at the tournament, as well as his 25th Grand Slam crown overall. Djokovic is set to face a qualifier in the opening round, aiming for a fast start after a recent loss in the United Cup.

The Serbian maestro, who struggled with a wrist problem during his defeat to Alex de Minaur last week, could potentially face Greek seventh seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarter-finals, setting the stage for a thrilling rematch of last year's title clash.
