Australian Open 2025 title contenders
Jannik Sinner claimed his first major with a stunning comeback win in the 2024 Australian final and will enter the 2025 edition as a top-seeded player in the men's singles. Aryna Sabalenka will be looking to make a hat-trick of Australian Open women's singles titles this month after regaining the No.1 spot in the WTA rankings at the end of 2024.
In the men's singles, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev are also capable of fighting Sinner to the title but the focus will be on the 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic. The Serbian legend fell to Sinner in the semi-finals last year and went on without a single ATP title in 2024.
