Men’s Australian Open 2023 – Dates, Schedule, and Seeds

Thirteen days ago there were 128. Now, there are just two.

The men’s finalist have officially been found at the Australian Open 2023, with Stefanos Tsitsipas and Novak Djokovic two men left standing after a dozen days of play. Friday night saw the men’s semifinals play out, with Stefanos Tsitsipas winning a tight four set encounter over Russia’s Karen Khachanov, while Novak Djokovic continued coasting through his side of the draw, passing Tommy Paul 7-5, 6-1, 6-2.

Today will see the men’s side of the draw play its last match to determine a champion, after taking a breather yesterday to allow the women’s final to take centre stage. Both men will be hoping for the resilience of Aryna Sabalenka, who charged to the title in three tight sets last night. Now, with 126 men eliminated from the field, we take a look at how the men’s seeds have fared at the Australian Open, and give an overview of important matches and dates to come over today.
