HOLGER RUNE

If he has a proper pre-season, he can make it big in Melbourne. Arrow

ALEXANDER ZVEREV

[{"selector":"#anim-ee84b5ea-6ee2-44d6-96c3-902eea2edc2f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7f829f62-6d60-4507-b635-411d1899a90e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.39799%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e8caef7b-92cf-4ab7-a132-ac76a718169a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fa41e2b5-942c-4db6-b22a-f9a70f57c219","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.64406%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Lined Circle 5 Alexander Zverev has won many big titles including an Olympic gold but is yet to win a major title. If he is fit and plays at his best, he will be eyeing a Grand Slam title. Arrow

CASPER RUUD

[{"selector":"#anim-57153423-15ba-4bc7-847a-86a464c2c5e4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9817dc08-6750-47ae-a964-1e129c1750b2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-146.22642%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-17291d01-35f1-4618-9762-c9b6f5cd6d6c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e3db7e87-8042-40b4-91ca-5474ef725a6e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.72909%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Lined Circle 4 Casper Ruud made big grounds in 2022 and despite not winning a title above the ATP 250 level, he made it to two major finals in a span of 3 months. He can be the dark horse in Melbourne. Arrow

NICK KYRGIOS

[{"selector":"#anim-86b65ec0-51bc-4649-9d82-4f6e535635f8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dda05976-c270-4737-b526-e8ecadbf00dc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-147.74775%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c8179bac-9b13-4a37-b38b-9c6ec033baf5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7d9b04da-ae37-4518-9d68-59b442540bd2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.26385%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Lined Circle 3 Nick Kyrgios has always massively underperformed according to his talent. He has what it takes to be a Grand Slam champion and to do it in front of his home fans could be poetic justice. Arrow

JANNIK SINNER

[{"selector":"#anim-e7fbde90-6cfe-4e3e-a3a9-0f627b7d0da1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-83a35aa0-c0ee-4106-9d42-88f108d75d0b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-139.22414%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c8a9f2bc-8b41-48b8-8687-63898da321fa","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e54c8a3e-f512-4bc7-aff1-2e3ab3b5cdc5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.45741%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Lined Circle 2 Jannik Sinner was projected to be the next big thing in tennis and he has shown glimpses of why he is rated so highly. He has the character to win it big and this could be his crowning moment. Arrow

STEFANOS TSITSIPAS

[{"selector":"#anim-f4fad666-e097-445d-bc90-73c32b5752dc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9d862fdf-e2db-4d91-8877-9dd45538608b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.3605%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-371cc22e-2928-4d7f-ad5d-ac924d5cb562","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4365f0bd-f479-442c-bd94-8d360bbc5618","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.37705%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1300,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Lined Circle 1 Stefanos Tsitsipas is open of the most consistent players in recent times and has reached the business end at major tournaments multiple times. It is very likely that with a good draw and a solid win over a big player, he can win his maiden major title in Melbourne. Arrow
