The Australian Open began in Melbourne with qualifying before the main draw from Sunday January 12.
After a huge massacre in recent days for the French at the Australian Open, finally some good news with the qualifications of 5 French people this Wednesday January 8. Among the men, two are now in the running for the main draw with Clement Chidekh and Térence Atmane who will play the next round against Habib and Klein. Among the women, if the adventure is already over for Mladenovic, it goes for Carole Monnet, Séléna Janicijevic and Léolia Jeanjean who will even compete against each other.
Traditionally, the Australian Open kicks off the tennis year. Despite a few preparation tournaments from the end of December, the Australian Open is the first unmissable event for tennis stars and fans of the little yellow ball. In 2025, the year promises to be exciting with a retired Nadal, a Djokovic who will no longer play all the tournaments and new names who already seem to be crushing the circuit like Carlos Alcaraz or even Jannik Sinner, winner of his first Grand Slam in Australia last year. The Italian’s victory was the start of an incredible year that he finished as world number 1. But Jannik Sinner didn’t just make friends in Australia. Tested positive during the year 2024, it attracted the wrath of some due to “different” treatment on the part of the world tennis organization. Enough to annoy a certain Nick Kyrgios who made his comeback on the courts after two years of absence and who is eagerly awaiting it. “If I face him at the Australian Open, I will try to start chaos against him,” he said.
For this 2025 edition, all eyes will therefore be on the Spaniard and the Italian, but on the hard surface of Melbourne, the Americans like Taylor Fritz, the Australians like Alex de Minaur, the Russians Medvedev and Rublev or even the French Humbert , Fils and Mpetshi Perricard will certainly have arguments to make. For women, the year 2025 should start again on the same basis with Sabalenka and Swiatek who should once again be the references of the circuit. But we are also awaiting the confirmation of the Italian Paolini or the return to the top of Coco Gauff. Among the French, the year promises to be difficult once again with Caroline Garcia trying to emerge from the fog.
