The Australian Open announced its entry list for the next event in 2026 in early December. Ninety-nine of the top 100 men are in the current field, with only world number 15 Holger Rune absent due to an Achilles injury.
Jerry Shang, Zhizhen Zhang, Emil Ruusuvuori, and Thanasi Kokkinakis are at the protected level. James Duckworth, Patrick Kypson, and Bu Yunchaokete are among the wild cards.
The draw at Melbourne Park is scheduled for January 18-February 1. The qualifiers will take place January 12-15.
