The chase for the Australian Open 2025 title is firmly on. Jannik Sinner is favourite to retain his title in the men’s draw but faces immense competition in the form of Alexander Zverev and a revitalised Novak Djokovic.
Sinner demolished home favourite Alex de Minaur in straight sets in the quarter-finals. The 23-year-old will face American Ben Shelton in the last four on Friday.
In the women’s draw, the semi-final line-up is complete – Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek are the favourites to win the title at Melbourne Park.
World No 1 Sabalenka is attempting to become the first woman since Martina Hingis 26 years ago to complete a ‘three-peat’ at the hard-court grand slam.
However, the Belarusian will be challenged by five-time major champion Iga Swiatek – who continued her romp through the draw with a quarter-final victory over Emma Navarro.
The Pole has dropped just 14 games so far in five matches – including a straight sets victory over Emma Raducanu in the third round – a feat bettered under the current format by only Steffi Graf, Maria Sharapova and Monica Seles.
