Australian Open 2020: Top 5 contenders to win the men's singles trophy

#1 Novak Djokovic

Djokovic is the defending champion

In at number 1 is Novak Djokovic. Since his strange fall from grace in 2017, the Serb has gone on to win five Grand Slams, including last year's Australian Open. This tournament holds special significance for Djokovic, as he looks to win an unprecedented eighth title.

Last year's tournament saw the Serb demolish his arch-rival Rafael Nadal in the final. Their latest match saw something similar, as Djokovic swept the Spaniard off the court - again in straight sets.

We are yet to discover the draw yet, but in all likelihood Djokovic will have to face at least one of Federer and Nadal. And though he beat Federer at Wimbledon, he also lost to the Swiss in London at the ATP Finals.

Nevertheless, Djokovic is still the player to beat on the men's tour, and fully deserves to be placed as the favorite to win the title again in 2020.
