Location: Melbourne, Australia
The 2025 Australian Open features world #1’s Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka as the defending champions on both the men’s and women’s draw. Here are my picks and predictions for both the Men’s and Women’s Singles draws.
Men’s Draw
In-form players include the aforementioned Sinner as well as Alex DeMinaur, Jiri Lehecka and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.
I consider Nick Kyrgios and Matteo Berrettini out of form.
Novak Djokovic is always a big story at the Australian Open. He’s won it 10 times and he enters this tournament with his long-time friend and rival, Andy Murray as his new coach. Joker also says his deportation from the country in 2021 still causes him “trauma”. At age 37, Djokovic has massive questions surrounding him heading into the first Major of the year.
Men’s Quarterfinals Projections
Q1: Jannik Sinner over Alex DeMinaur
Q2: Daniil Medvedev over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard
Q3: Carlos Alcaraz over Novak Djokovic
Q4: Alexander Zverev over Casper Ruud
Men’s Projected Semi-Finals
Top half: Daniil Medvedev over Jannik Sinner
Bottom half: Carlos Alcaraz over Alexander Zverev
Men’s Projected Finals:
Carlos Alcaraz over Daniil Medvedev
I’ll post my best bet to win the men’s draw at the Australian Open after the women’s breakdown.
Women’s Draw
On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka looks to three-peat in Melbourne.
In-form players include Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Mirra Andreeva, Madison Keys, Polina Kudermetova and Yulia Putintseva.
I consider Beatriz Haddad Maia, Maria Sakkari and Paula Badosa out of form.
Women’s Quarter-Final Projections
Q1: Aryna Sabalenka over Qinwen Zheng
Q2: Coco Gauff over Jessica Pegula
Q3: Katie Boulter over Madison Keys
Q4: Iga Swiatek over Yulia Putintseva
Women’s Semi-Finals Projection
Top half: Coco Gauff over Aryna Sabalenka
Bottom half: Iga Swiatek over Katie Boulter
Women’s Finals Projection
Coco Gauff over Iga Swiatek
Best Bets:
Men’s winner: Carlos Alcaraz +370
Women’s winner: Coco Gauff +480
Women’s Finals exact matchup: Coco Gauff vs Iga Swiatek +1000
