Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray will lead the British interest when an Australian Open still clouded by the Novak Djokovic controversy starts on Monday.
At the opposite end of the career scale is 34-year-old Murray. The five-time finalist is returning to Melbourne for the first time since an emotional news conference there in 2019, when he said he thought he would have to retire from the sport because of an impending hip operation.
The pair are joined by five fellow Britons - Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans, Heather Watson, Harriet Dart and Liam Broady - in the singles draws.
