Fans in for a treat with Rafael Nadal and Nick Kyrgios in action
Rafa could face a qualifier of Marcos Giron in his opening match. However, the main talking point is the prospect of Nadal facing Australia’s Nick Kyrgios in the semifinal if all goes well. If that happens, fans would relish the opportunity to see these old foes take on each other.
On the other side, British tennis star Andy Murray who has received a wild card for the Australian Open 2022 will be seen in the warm-up event too. After missing out on the Australian Tour last season, it comes as great news to him and his fans to witness him in action.
