Novak Djokovic will be in the Australian Open draw as the decision over whether the defending champion can stay in the country lingers.
The nine-time champion has been drawn against fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic.
Britain’s US Open champion Emma Raducanu, seeded 17th, faces American world number 68 Sloane Stephens, the 2017 champion at the New York major.
The Australian Open is the first Grand Slam of the 2022 season and starts at Melbourne Park on Monday.
The world number one is hoping to win a record-extending 10th Australian Open men’s title which would be his 21st Grand Slam triumph, moving him clear of Switzerland’s Roger Federer and Spain’s Rafael Nadal.
Djokovic has not been vaccinated against Covid-19 and had his visa revoked when he arrived in Australia last week, following questions over the vaccine exemption that would have permitted him to enter.
However, on Monday a judge dramatically overturned the decision and ordered his release from an immigration detention hotel after finding that border officials had not followed proper procedure.
