World No. 1 Novak Djokovic had a dream 2018, coming into his own in the second half of the year. Djokovic won the last two Majors - at Wimbledon and the Flushing Meadows - with the latter culminating into his 14th Grand Slam victory.

With strong performances last year, a rejuvenated Djokovic is the favourite to lift his 15th Major at the Rod Laver Arena. Being in the other half of the group than Nadal and Federer would mean that the Serbian would have his way slightly easier.

The major competition is expected in the semi-finals where he is expected to play either Alexander Zverev or Dominic Thiem.

The return of form for Djokovic has only reignited the interest of the tennis fans across the world, making things extremely exciting in the ever competitive game. A resurgent Djokovic would be vying for his 7th Australian Open title, a record that would take him ahead of the great Federer.
