In the first round, Yuri Rodionov will face the Argentinean number 12 seed Thiago Agustin Tirante, who was a stumbling block for the retiring Dominic Thiem in round one in Kitzbühel last year. In the women's draw, Sinja Kraus will play Viktoria Hruncakova from Slovakia.
Ofner still injured
Due to the rest of Sebastian Ofner, who is still convalescing, only one red-white-red qualifier could make it into the men's main event. In the women's event, Julia Grabher is a fixed starter. Neumayer and Kraus have never been in the main draw of a major before.
Wimbledon winner Barbora Krejcikova will not be taking part in the first Grand Slam tournament of the year. The world number ten from the Czech Republic has decided not to make the trip to Melbourne due to a back injury that has not yet healed.
