Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic are on opposite sides of the draw for the Australian Open, setting up a potential clash in the final.
Melbourne is gearing up to host the inaugural tennis Grand Slam of 2025, with all the action available live on ESPN and ESPN+. Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic have been drawn on opposite sides of the men's and women's singles brackets for the season's first major, preventing a rematch of last year's semifinal.
Sabalenka, who clinched her second consecutive Melbourne Park title in 2024 by defeating Zheng Qinwen 6-3, 6-2 in the final, aims to secure a third consecutive women's singles championship at Melbourne Park, a feat last achieved by Steffi Graf. Djokovic, a record nine-time Australian Open champion, returns to the tournament after a tumultuous year absent from the competition. Meanwhile, Nick Kyrgios, the 2022 Wimbledon runner-up, will face in the first round if he's cleared to play in his first major since the 2022 US Open. Kyrgios and Zverev are in the same section of the draw
