Osaka, Djokovic reunite with Aussie Open hardware

As is tradition Down Under, defending champions Naomi Osaka and Novak Djokovic helped with the draw ceremony on Thursday.

Taking place inside Margaret Court Arena, Osaka and Djokovic also answered some questions while seated comfortably on couches.

She talked about the social media post of herself with her "mom" Serena Williams from Wednesday night's Rally for Relief exhibition event for Australia's bushfire relief efforts.

"For me Serena was the most important," she said. "But definitely it was really cool. I didn't really talk that much, so it was great that all the other people with super fun personalities were doing all the work."

World No. 3 Djokovic was all smiles and kisses, coming into the Slam with a 6-0 record after leading Serbia to the ATP Cup title.

He is seeded No. 2, behind world No. 1 Rafael Nadal, and opens against Jan-Lennard Struff. The Serbian is in the same half of the draw as Roger Federer as he seeks major No. 16.

Osaka will face Marie Bouzkova and landed in the same quarter as Serena Williams, Coco Gauff and Venus Williams (who play each other)
