For the most part it looks like a balanced men’s singles draw at the Australian Open. But does a balanced draw translate to a level playing field? Not necessarily.

The Australian Open draw ceremony took place on Thursday evening in Melbourne, where the season’s first Grand Slam begins on Monday. A balanced bracket was revealed, although it notably features Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in the same half.

The Australian Open is the annual first Grand Slam on the tennis calendar and this year’s event at Melbourne Park takes place from Jan. 14-27. Novak Djokovic the clear favorite with the bookmakers to win the men’s title for a seventh time–and his first since 2016. […]

The Australian Open concludes on Sunday, when Roger Federer and Marin Cilic battle at the very end for the second time in the last three Grand Slams. A five-team panel featuring Ricky Dimon, Joey Hanf, […]
If this 2018 Australian Open is anything to go by, the WTA Tour is in for an entertaining season complete with all kinds of epic matches. As for the men…not so much.

For the second time in the span of three Grand Slams, Roger Federer and Marin Cilic will be squaring off in a final when they take the court one more time at the 2018 Australian Open on Sunday night.
