Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova, number 12 in the world rankings, will miss the Australian Open for a wrist injury, the organizers announced. The 32-year-old former Grand Slam winner in France and the United States is not on the list of participants, but she is American Serena Williams. But she is still not sure if she will participate after she gave birth to her first child less than a year ago.

Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Kay Nishikori and Stanislaw Wawrinka, who did not play last season for various injuries, will also return to the court. `We are often in touch with Andy Murray, Kai Nishikori and Stan Waffenka, who will be ready for the Australian summer, all of which will be low-ranked, so we will finally have the chance to see a breakthrough of one of the young stars, such as Alexander Zverev, Dominic Team and David Goffen, `the organizers added.

The leaders in the two schemes in Australia will be Rafael Nadal from Spain and Simona Dalep from Romania.
