Grigor Dimitrov is also out of Rotterdam after suffering an injury in Australia, while World No.3 Alcaraz is now the top seed. Big guns Daniil Medvedev and de Minaur are set to play, with the Aussie hoping to go one better than his runner-up finish to Sinner in 2024.

The landscape of tennis was dominated by three players for nearly two decades, namely Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal.

With his latest Australian Open win and third Grand Slam title, Italy's Jannik Sinner has once again proved he is the man to beat on the men’s tour.

Djokovic is out of the Australian Open after retiring from his semi-final, with Zverev through to face Sinner on Sunday

The final matches for men's and women's singles at the 2025 Australian Open have been set. On the men's side, it is the top two ranked players in the world: Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev.

Alexander Zverev has said that Jannik Sinner is "very similar" to Novak Djokovic after he was defeated by the Italian in the Australian Open final.

The South Tyrolean star embraced a 73-6 score in 2024, lifting eight ATP trophies and leaving everyone behind. Jannik was the top favorite at this year's Australian Open. World no. 1 survived a scare against Holger Rune and defended the title in style!

Sinner added to Alexander Zverev's grand slam misery, winning 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 on Rod Laver Arena. It meant he joined all-time legends Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer in winning three-straight majors on hard courts, after also triumphing at the Australian and US Opens in 2024.

Narmada, representing Tamil Nadu, clinched the top podium finish with a score of 254.4, beating back the challenge from Maharashtra's Arya Borse (252.5) and Ramita (230.4) in the eight-shooter final

Many called Jannik Sinner the best player in the world after he won his third Grand Slam at the 2025 Australian Open. Naomi Osaka's coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, disagrees with that analysis.

One of three men with a win percentage of over 90%, eight-time Grand Slam winner Connors spent 268 weeks atop the ATP Rankings during his legendary career. The American won 408 of 453 matches contested while ranked as the world No 1, a win percentage of 90.1% that ranks him third in this countdown.
