The 2025 Australian Open, the first Slam of the season, is approaching with great expectations and a draw that promises to be spectacular in both the men's and women's tournaments. The big news is Jannik Sinner as the number 1 seed in Melbourne, while Novak Djokovic, who has slipped to number 7 in the ranking, could face an extremely complicated quarterfinal.
Remember that the main draws will be drawn on Thursday
The tournament's draw system provides that the 32 players with the best ranking are designated as seeds, guaranteeing them not to meet before the third round. From that point on, the path becomes increasingly challenging with potential high-level clashes.
In the men's draw, after Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz follow as the first four seeds. Djokovic's position is particularly interesting, as he could already meet one of Sinner, Alcaraz, Zverev or Fritz in the quarterfinals. Among them, the American appears on paper as the most approachable opponent.
The third round could already reserve interesting challenges with young talents like Flavio Cobolli, Tomas Machac or Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard ready to give the favorites a hard time. In the eighth finals, the first four of the seeds could find Holger Rune, Ugo Humbert, Jack Draper or Lorenzo Musetti on their path, while Djokovic could face one of Tsitsipas, Paul, Rublev and Dimitrov.
