Nick Kyrgios will launch his Australian Open campaign against Brazil’s world No.100 Rogerio Dutra Silva.
As Australia’s top-ranked player and the men’s 17th seed, Kyrgios’s first big test is likely to come against French 15th seed and former finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the third round.
World No.1 Rafael Nadal opens against Victor Estrella Burgos, while defending champion and second seed Roger Federer plays Slovenia’s Aljaz Bedene in the first round.
