The Australian Open 2025 kicks off on January 12 with first-round matches. The two-week-long tournament at Melbourne Park will see the crowing of the season's first Grand Slam champions in men's, women's and doubles events. The women's singles final takes place on January 25 (Saturday), with the men's final concluding the tournament on 26 January. The Qualifying, which determined the sixteen qualifiers into the main draw, ran from January 6 to 9.
Jannik Sinner of Italy and Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus are the defending singles champions meanwhile, Serbian great Novak Djokovic will look to make more history. Carlos Alcaraz of Spain is also chasing history. The 21-year-old reigning French Open and Wimbledon champion will become the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam if he takes home the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup, a replica of course. And Iga Swiatek of Poland, the former world number one, is making her first Grand Slam appearance since serving a one-month doping suspension.
