Top Contenders For Australian Open 2025 Men’s Singles Title
Novak Djokovic: The 10-time champion is hard to be left out of the challenger’s list. At the age of 37, he won the Olympic Gold Medal and made it to the finals of the few Grand Slams last year. Yes, he lost those matches, but his control over the ball, experience, and fighting spirit set him apart from the other athletes.
Carlos Alcaraz: Winner of four Grand Slams, even before turning 22, the Spaniard is a crowd favourite and one of the rising stars of the Tennis world. He won the US Open and showcased his ability on the hard court. Winning the Australian Open is just what to be ticked from the youngster’s Grand Slam book and if he can do it in 2025, he will be the youngest to complete the career slam. Former World number one would be looking to make a strong return to the Australian Open after missing out on the 2024 edition.
