The much-anticipated draw for the 2025 Australian Open ended at noon Beijing time yesterday, and although the top 32 seeds did not have the names of Chinese players in the men's singles draw table as at Wimbledon last year, they were still star-studded. If they all make it to the round of 32, the full matchup is as follows:
Sinner-Koboli
Hurkacz-Rune
Tsitsipas Khachanov
Cerundolo de Minaur
The quarter-finals are packed with experts, including defending champion Sinner, last year's runner-up and multiple semi-finalist Tsitsipas, last year's fourth-finalist Khachanov, and homegrown darling De Minaur.
If the two Italians can meet in the fourth round, it will be a big attraction, but if it is a repeat of the semi-final showdown last year: Russian Thor meets Greece's prosperous beauty, I believe it will definitely attract countless more eye-catching.
As for Hurkacz, who has just changed coaches, and Rune, who has recently performed like a knife in a Grand Slam, I predict that they will most likely be the first seeded players to fall behind.
Fritz Perikar
Sheldon Musetti
Rublev Tiafoe
Poplin Medvedev
This quarter is home to a number of players who have excelled in North American tournaments, including US Open champion Mei, last year's US Open runner-up Fritz, US Open semi-finalists Shelton and Tiafoe, and last year's Canadian Masters champion Poplin.
Three-time Australian Open runner-up Mei is undoubtedly the favorite in the region, and if he can have a bumper harvest in his career and life and reach the top of the Australian Open for the first time, he is really proud of the spring breeze. However, he needs to put in a fresh look, as last year he was without a tour title for the first time in recent years.
Perikade and Musetti are also seeded players to be reckoned with. The former relies on a strong serve on a fast court and has the ability to defeat the enemy with one hit; The latter, on the other hand, has made a name for himself on unnatural venues, but is also in desperate need of a hard-court Grand Slam to prove that he has what it takes to be in the top 20.
Djokovic Mahac
Lehecka Dimitrov
Draper Korda
Thompson Alcaraz
In the three-quarters area, just the gathering of the two old and young kings, Deyo and Acre, is already full of expectations. There are also the Australian warm-up champions Dimi and Leheka in the past two years, last year's US Open semi-finalist and British No. 1 Draper, the Czech big dark horse Mahachi, the American star second-generation Koda and the local player Thompson, who won the tour title for the first time last year.
Ruud Aliassime
Tabilo Paul
Amber Fez
Baez Zverev
The last zone is relatively star-studded, with the most anticipated matchup being the potential French matchup between Amber and Fez; Former semi-finalist Paul, who has given Acre the only five-set defeat at the Australian Open, is undoubtedly the favourite.
Who do you think will be seeded first? Who will make it to the finals? Looking forward to your predictions!(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
