Australian Open 2022 Participants (Men’s Singles): Players Granted Wild Card Entry At The Men’s Singles

Some of the big names like Swiss Roger Federer and Australia’s Dominic Thiem won’t be seen in this year’s Australian Open as they have withdrawal from the tournament.
2022 Australian Open Men’s Singles Predictions, Favorites And Odds
Who has the chance to win at Melbourne Park this year? Let’s guess the top five names and the list includes, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev or Matteo Berrettini?
Or it should also include players from the list of Denis Shapovalov, Auger-Aliassime, Sinner, Hurkacz, Alex di Minaur or Stefanos Tsitsipas?
Legendary Andy Murray has been very unlucky with his health as the Briton faces problems with standing on his own for a long due to hip injuries.
Novak Djokovic seems to be fully motivated with his form at the 2021 calendar year where he won three Grand Slams in a year to tie with Federer and Nadal with the most Grand Slams in Men’s history.
The Serb won’t waste this chance to overtake the two rivals for his 21st amd so will not the Spaniard in absence of the Swiss. Nadal, who came back from his injury by winning the ATP Melbourne Summer Set title will definitely not want to give up on the chance easily.
Then comes World Number Two Russia’s Daniil Medvedev. The player has been impressive at the ATP Cup 2022 singles and is calming to grab the number one spot from the Serb.
World Number Seven Matteo Berrettini would not repeat the mistake he did at the Wimbledon final against Djokovic and will look for revenge and so will the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Gold Medalist Alexander Zverev.
Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime who empowered their Team Canada to win the ATP Cup 2022 will also give tough competition. The players have been good at the singles this year.
