The 2025 Australian Open will start on January 12 and end on January 26. The first of the four Grand Slam tournaments is very demanding from a physical point of view due to the weather conditions and the players must prepare very well to be ready from the first rounds.
Fans and insiders are wondering if there will be any new Grand Slam champions in 2025. On the men’s tour, the top favorites in the Major tournaments will still be Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, without underestimating Alexander Zverev and a legend like Novak Djokovic.
On the women’s tour, the main rivalry is undoubtedly that between Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek. Their main opponents will be Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff, but it would be a serious mistake to underestimate Emma Raducanu who has revealed that she has great ambitions this season after the difficulties of recent years.
Tim Henman’s predictions
In a long interview with ‘Sky Sports Tennis’, former British champion Tim Henman revealed his predictions for the 2025 season: “Zverev to win a Slam and Zheng to win a Slam.
Zheng is so important for the women’s game and that’s why the WTA Finals tour finale between Zheng and Coco Gauff in Riyadh was so special.”
