The first Grand Slam of the season gets underway at Melbourne Park this week.
The Australian Open 2025 gets underway this week as the world’s best tennis stars gather at Melbourne Park from 12-26 January.
Defending champions Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner return to chase back-to-back titles, but perhaps the biggest story of the tournament is Novak Djokovic seeking a record 25th Grand Slam, joined by new coach Andy Murray.
Andy Murray joined Novak Djokovic’s coaching team on a trial basis for this tournament. Months after retiring, Murray, who faced Djokovic 36 times from 2006 to 2022 and lost 25 times, brings invaluable insight to the Serbian who will be aiming for a record 11th Australian Open.
Elsewhere, young star Carlos Alcaraz eyes a career Grand Slam at the age of 21, while world number one Sabalenka will attempt to become the first woman since Martina Hingis in 1997-99 to win three consecutive Australian Open singles titles.
With record prize money of £48m available across the tournament and some fantastic storylines, this hard-court Grand Slam sets the tone for a exciting tennis season.
