Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz could each make more history with Australian Open titles, but they may first face each other in the quarterfinals.
The men’s singles draw was highlighted by third seed Alcaraz and seventh seed Djokovic sharing the same quarter. They met last year in the Wimbledon final (Alcaraz won) and the Olympic final (Djokovic won).
Top seed Janic Ciner, who won the Australian Open and US Open last year. He may break a tie with Nicola Pietrangeli for the most Grand Slam singles titles by an Italian.
If the 21-year-old Alcaraz wins the Australian Open this year or next, he will break Don Budge’s record for the youngest career Grand Slam.
Australian Open: Women’s draw
Djokovic, 37, is a 24-time Grand Slam singles champion with 10 titles in Australia.
She is tied with Australia’s Margaret Court for the most Grand Slam singles titles in history and one shy of Court’s record 11 titles in Australia (Court’s seven crowns came in the amateur era in the 1960s).
In 2024, Djokovic did not win any of the four Slams for the first time since 2017. He won his first Olympic gold medal though.
No. 4 seed Taylor Fritz, the US Open runner-up, is the highest-seeded American at a Slam since No. 3 Andy Roddick at 2007 Wimbledon.
In 2025, the Olympic and Paralympic sporting events will determine the favorites for the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Games.
