Initially on the road to Novak Djokovic, Gaël Monfils finds his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic, in the round of 16 of the Australian Open on Sunday January 23. The Frenchman, who has only spent 4h57 on the pitch since the start of the tournament, arrives in very good shape. His title at the first tournament in Adelaide confirms his good start to the season, and could open the doors to a second quarter-final in Melbourne in his career (after 2016).
Adrian Mannarino faces Rafael Nadal on the Central for his first round of 16 in Australia. He will have a hard time facing the Spaniard, winner of the Melbourne preparation tournament and dominating in his first three rounds (he only gave up one round).
Among the women, Ashleigh Barty, expeditious since the start of the tournament with only eight games conceded in three games, is opposed to the American Amanda Anisimova, who defeated Naomi Osaka, the defending champion.
