Four-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz is seeking his first success at the Australian Open and we've looked at his potential route to the final in Melbourne.
Alcaraz commences his Australian Open campaign with a first round tie against Kazakhstan's Alexander Shevchenko.
The pair have met once before in the Madrid Masters last year, with Alcaraz prevailing 6-2, 6-1.
Yoshihito Nishioka potentially awaits Alcaraz in the second round, who will need to overcome qualifier Aziz Dougaz to prolong his Australian Open stay.
A tie with home favourite Jordan Thompson may beckon in the third round.
The 27th seed must overcome qualifier Dominic Koepfer before taking on one of Alexandre Muller or Nuno Borges in the second round, where the winner will likely be rewarded with an encounter against Alcaraz.

Now we're approaching the business stage of the competition and there's a few individuals who will be disappointed not to reach this stage of the Australian Open.
Britain's Jack Draper is the highest seed of a section which consists of the hard-hitting Sebastian Korda and local hero Thanasi Kokkinakis, who proved in Grand Slams last year he's capable of providing an upset.
A meeting with Draper would be a fascinating prospect given the competitive nature of their previous head-to-head matches, with the British No.1 coming out on top at Queen's Club last year.
Now this would be a blockbuster quarter-final tie that would inevitably steal all of the headlines!
Novak Djokovic, who is currently being coached by Andy Murray, is the seventh seed for the tournament he has won a record 10 times. Both Djokovic and Alcaraz served some classic encounters last year, including the Wimbledon final and Olympics showpiece.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion has not had the best preparation heading into the tournament - he was defeated by Reilly Opelka in the quarter-finals at Brisbane, who coincidentally happens to be in his quarter - and the Serbian faces major obstacles in Jiri Lehecka and Grigor Dimitrov.
Should Alcaraz progress into the final four it would represent his best-ever showing at Melbourne Park.
The most likely opponent awaiting him in the semi-final is 2024 French Open finalist Alexander Zverev, although the likes of Casper Ruud, Tommy Paul and Ugo Humbert may have something to say about that.
Last but by no means least, Alcaraz may need to take down the defending champion in the final if he is to complete the Grand Slam clean sweep and add the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup to his illustrious honours.
Jannik Sinner enjoyed an exceptional 2024 which resulted in him claiming the Australian Open and US Open titles. On hard-court surfaces, he looks invincible.
The Italian is likely to take on compatriot Flavio Cobolli in the third round prior to a potential fourth round encounter with one of Holger Rune or Hubert Hurkacz.
Alex de Minaur, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Karen Khachanov are in the mix for a quarter-final date with Sinner, while Taylor Fritz, Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev are unable to meet the world number one until the semi-finals.
