The two-time grand slam champion has been aligned with Chisholm in a Tennis Australia initiative which rewards Australian tennis clubs for opening up their facilities to the community for free tennis days.

Kyrgios was handed a $10,000 fine, plus a suspended one month ban to be enacted should he offend again, after he muttered to Wawrinka "Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend. Sorry to tell you that mate" during their Montreal Masters match in August.

Wawrinka confronted Kyrgios in the locker room afterward and told media the 20-year-old has "big problems" with his on-court behaviour.

Kyrgios will begin his Australian Open campaign with a tricky assignment against Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta.

Wawrinka was the only player to beat dominant world no.1 Novak Djokovic in a grand slam last year, shocking the Serb in the French Open final.

Djokovic was virtually untouchable last year as he compiled an 82-6 win-loss record and won three grand slam titles as well as six of the eight ATP 1000 top-tier tournaments he played.

"For me, doesn't change anything for this tournament," said the Swiss when asked what his French Open victory over Djokovic meant.

"He's playing amazing. The level he's putting is quite amazing. That's why he's number one in the world.

"As long as I don't play him, I don't need to take (anything from) the victory against him."

The 30-year-old Swiss is not scheduled to meet Djokovic until the final at Melbourne Park, should they both get that far, with Wawrinka seeded to face Spaniard Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals and Briton Andy Murray in the semi-finals.

Wawrinka, who surprised many to win his first grand slam on the hardcourts at Melbourne Park two years ago, felt relatively comfortable with his form heading into his first round clash with Russia's Dmitry Tursunov on Tuesday.

"I'm happy the way I'm playing so far. I'm confident with my game," he added somewhat croakily as he suppressed numerous coughs during his media conference on Saturday.

"(I) started well. I won the trophy again in Chennai (and a) ... title, it's something really special.

"Doesn't matter the category of the tournament for me, it's always amazing to win the titles, to get the trophy at the end of the week.

"It gives you confidence, especially after the off-season, to start it well again directly from the first tournament.

"Hopefully I can keep playing that well."

Two other Canberra suburbs have been allocated top players, with Rafael Nadal representing Jamison and Lyneham aligned with Agnieszka Radwanska.
