Tomas Martin Etcheverry: Ten-time champion Novak Djokovic could face former World No. 1 Andy Murray in the third round at Australian Open as the singles main draw was revealed on Thursday.

Djokovic will open against a qualifier or lucky loser and if he wins, will face a home favourite: Marc Polmans or Alexei Popyrin. Murray begins his event against 30th seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

Djokovic is fresh off a season in which he won three majors to increase his total to 24, a standalone record. The 36-year-old Serb has won 28 consecutive matches at the season’s first major.
