Novak Djokovic could play Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open and may also have to face World No 2 Alexander Zverev and World No 1 Jannik Sinner if he is to win a 25th grand slam title in Melbourne.

The 37-year-old, who will be coached by Andy Murray at the opening grand slam of the season, is seeded seventh for the tournament he has won 10 times and was drawn in the same quarter as World No 3 Alcaraz

Djokovic and Alcaraz, 21, have faced each other in three grand slam finals as well as the Olympics final, won by the Serbian last year, with Zverev a possible opponent in the semis and defending champion Sinner on the opposite side of the draw.

Emma Raducanu was the only British player to draw a seed, meanwhile, as the former US Open champion takes on No 26 Ekaterina Alexandrova. British No 1 Katie Boulter, who is seeded 22nd, faces Rebecca Marino of Canada in her opening round.
