The men’s singles field for the 2024 Australian Open Open was announced earlier this week.
At Grand Slams, 128-player draws (on both the men’s and women’s sides) are made up of 104 direct entrants, eight wild cards, and 16 qualifiers. That means a ranking of 104th or better generally gets you into the main draw of any major.
However, the 2024 Australian Open has an unusually low direct-entry cutoff of 97th in the world. That’s because seven men used protected rankings to gain entry. They are Rafael Nadal, Denis Shapovalov, Marin Cilic, Milos Raonic, Jiri Vesely, Soonwoo Kwon, and Reilly Opelka. Players are allowed to use PRs if they have missed a certain amount of time because of injuries and had a high enough ranking when their absence from tennis began.
Meanwhile, James, Duckworth, Marc Polmans, and Adam Walton are current wild-card entrants. Five WCs remain on the men’s side.
