Seedings are given to the top-32 ranked players in the world ahead of Grand Slams.

They are used to ensure the highest-ranked players avoid each other in the early rounds when the draw is made.

The top seed is the No. 1-ranked player ahead of the tournament, and cannot meet the second seed until the final as they are placed on opposite sides of the draw.

The top four seeds can only meet in the semi-finals and if the seeds hold, then the top eight seeds would all reach the quarter-finals.

The draw is expected to take place on Thursday, January 11 as each player learns their potential path to glory.

Alexander Zverev has moved up to the sixth seed after helping Germany to win the United Cup.

Alex de Minaur also performed well at the tournament and moved up into the top 10 for the first time in his career.

“I see all the reasons why I’m not going to be a good player [on social media], why I’m not going to make it or why I’m not going to improve,” he said at the United Cup.

“I store it in the back of my head, and I use it as motivation. Ultimately, it’s my drive that has put me in this position and I want to get the absolute most out of myself.

“I’m very happy with how 2024 is going and hopefully I can keep it going.”

Felix Auger-Aliassime could be a dangerous early opponent, having dropped down to No. 27, and so could Sebastian Korda, who upset Daniil Medvedev on his way to the quarter-finals last year.

On the women’s side, Elena Rybakina returned to world No. 3 following her impressive title run in Brisbane.

Coco Gauff is just behind her following her Auckland success, while two top-20 names to watch could be Victoria Azarenka and Elina Svitolina.

Caroline Garcia might also be one to keep an eye on.

The former world No. 4 hasn’t made it past the fourth round of the Australian Open but had some good results at the United Cup this month.

The Australian Open draw is expected to be held on Thursday, January 11.
