Sinner and Sabalenka Return To Defend their Titles
The World No. 1’s are back and ready for more Grand Slam glory.
On the men’s side, defending champion Jannik Sinner will look to begin his new season off of an incredible 2024. Winning eight titles in total, Sinner captured two Majors and proved that he is not only the best player in the world, but the best player on hard-courts.
Sinner will have to fend off the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev if he is to go back-to-back in Melbourne.
On the women’s side, Ayrna Sabalenka will be keen to see if she can three-peat at the Happy Slam. Winning the prestigious title in Australia the last two years, Sabalenka is also the best player in the world and undoubtedly the best on hard-courts.
The Belarusian will be joined in Melbourne by Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Elena Rybakina, Qinwen Zheng and Jasmine Paolini.
Other players to watch out for on both the men’s and women’s draws are Holger Rune, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, Taylor Fritz, Amanda Anisamova, Paula Badosa and Mirra Andreeva.
