The Australian Open continues its third round and does so with all the favorites in the running. The best players on the circuit did not disappoint in these early days, so they continue to lead the predictions for the tournament champion.
Logically, Novak Djokovic, current champion and world number 1, is the top favoritewith Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev as their main rivals.
However, there are those who go beyond convention and venture for an unconventional candidate. This is the case with Nick Kyrgios, who shot a three-pointer from the parking lot in his prediction.
And the Australian, who currently works as a commentator, believe that the champion of the first Grand Slam of the season will be none other than Stefanos Tsitsipas.
It is true that the Greek, number 7 in the world, reached the final last year, but in this edition he shows himself to be quite weak.dropped his first set in the first two rounds, against Zizou Bergs and Jordan Thompson.
Nick Kyrgios confirmed at the beginning of December his withdrawal from the Australian Open after an unfortunate 2023 where he could barely play due to his knee injury. If unable to compete at the beginning of 2024, the Australian will be in a special way in the oceanic Grand Slam.
Kyrgios has been confirmed as one of Eurosport’s commentators for the first ‘major’ of the season, with names of the stature of Àlex Corretja, Patrick McEnroe, Justine Henin and Tim Henman.
