(UTV | COLOMBO) – Dan Evans and Cameron Norrie will play one another in the first round of the Australian Open.
They are the only Britons in the men’s event, with Kyle Edmund missing through injury and Andy Murray unable to travel because of Covid-19 restrictions.
In the women’s draw, Francesca Jones will make her Grand Slam main-draw debut against American Shelby Rogers.
British number one Johanna Konta, seeded 13th, will face Slovenian qualifier Kaja Juvan first.
The Australian Open – the first Grand Slam of the year – begins on Monday.
The draw was delayed by 24 hours, along with the six warm-up events that are taking place at Melbourne Park, but organisers are “absolutely confident” the Slam will go ahead.
The 507 people who were retested for coronavirus after a hotel worker contracted it have all returned negative tests.
