Excitement, mysteries to be resolved, and guaranteed spectacle. That's what you breathe in the lead-up to the 2025 Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of a season full of incentives. If there's one factor that can shape the tournament's course, it's the order of the seeds and the impact this will have on potential matchups.

Few stages of a tennis season generate as much excitement as the beginning. There are high expectations regarding what this 2025 Australian Open may hold, both on the men's and women's circuits. Therefore, it is worth reviewing the 32 seeds in each of the individual draws since this will somewhat determine the chances of success for each player. Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner arrive as numbers 1 and defending champions, but they could face very tough matchups on their way to the final.

  28. Sebastián Báez
  29. Félix Auger-Aliassime
  30. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard
  31. Francisco Cerúndolo
  32. Flavio Cobolli

 

While surprises in the early rounds are possible, the path starts to get challenging for the favorites in the third round, where players like Cobolli, Machac, or Mpetshi Perricard could pose many problems for the top contenders. They are the opponents to avoid for Sinner, Zverev, Alcaraz, Djokovic, and company. In the round of 16, the top four could face Rune, Humbert, Draper, or Musetti, while Djokovic faces a tough scenario as his opponent will come from Tsitsipas, Paul, Rublev, or Dimitrov.

What's most interesting in this tournament is that Novak could meet Sinner, Alcaraz, Zverev, or Fritz in the quarterfinals. At first glance, the American seems the most appealing opponent in that stage, as well as for Sinner and Zverev in the semifinals. Alcaraz is clear that he will face either the Italian or the German in the semifinals.

  28. Elina Svitolina
  29. Linda Noskova
  30. Leylah Fernández
  31. Maria Sakkari
  32. Dayana Yastremska

 

Knowing that there won't be another episode between the bitter rivals Aryna and Iga before the final, it's striking the significant threat they could face in the quarterfinals, with players of the caliber of Rybakina or Zheng. Apart from the top favorites, two women are coming with good momentum and could perform well above their ranking, such as Andreeva and Muchova. Both could defy the odds in the 2025 Australian Open where Sabalenka is the top contender.
