The 2025 Australian Open, which started on Sunday, brings many exciting stories at the start of the new tennis season. Some of the key players and their goals are:
- Novak Djokovic: Djokovic is trying to win his 25th Grand Slam title, which would break the record. At 37, he is the only player left from the “Big Three” (with Federer and Nadal retired). He has won the Australian Open 10 times but has not won a title since November 2023. With the help of his new coach, Andy Murray, Djokovic hopes to find new ways to win, as he is nearing the end of his career.
- Jannik Sinner: Sinner had a great 2024, but he is in trouble with doping. He was cleared of doping charges, but the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has appealed. His case will be heard in April 2025, so this adds more attention to his journey in the Australian Open.
- Carlos Alcaraz: Alcaraz, at 21, is trying to win his first Australian Open title. If he wins, he will become the youngest player to win all four Grand Slam titles (this is called a “career Grand Slam”). He is one of the top young stars in tennis.
- Aryna Sabalenka: Sabalenka is aiming for her third Australian Open title, which would make her one of the best hard-court players in the world. She is one of the top favorites to win the women’s title.
Other players to watch:
- Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev: These players want to prove their generation, which is between the Big Three and the new stars like Sinner and Alcaraz, still has a place in tennis. Medvedev lost early in the tournament, so now Zverev is the one who needs to represent their generation.
- Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff: Swiatek, a five-time Grand Slam winner, has not done well at the Australian Open, but she is still a strong contender. Gauff, from the United States, has struggled with consistency, but after winning the WTA Finals and the United Cup recently, she is in good form.
Finally, the article mentions that players from India are not currently part of the main tennis conversations. Sumit Nagal lost in the first round, and Rohan Bopanna and Yuki Bhambri are not in the spotlight either.
In short, the 2025 Australian Open has many interesting storylines. There are veterans like Djokovic, hoping to break records, and young players like Sinner and Alcaraz trying to make a name for themselves. It’s a big mix of old and new talent aiming for big wins.
