The 2025 Australian Open is fast approaching, as the best on the ATP Tour look to take home the trophy in Melbourne.
The stars of the ATP Tour will be hoping to kickstart their seasons in the best possible way by winning the 2025 Australian Open.
Novak Djokovic lost to Sinner at the Australian Open this year and will be looking to get revenge this time around with his new coach Andy Murray, as he looks to add to his record 24 Grand Slam titles.
Similarly, Carlos Alcaraz will be looking to take home his first title down under, as he has the opportunity to complete the Career Grand Slam in Melbourne.
Several stars will want to write their name into the history books but are unlikely to do what one ATP legend achieved back in the 1980s.
Johan Kriek: The man who won two consecutive Australian Open titles under different nationalities
In 1981, Africa’s wait for a Grand Slam champion in the Open Era finally came to an end as South Africa’s Johan Kriek lifted the Australian Open title aloft.
Seeded fourth at the tournament he advanced to the third round without dropping a set before coming up against his toughest test yet against his first-seeded opponent.
Kriek took the first two sets against New Zealand’s Christopher Lewis before the Kiwi battled back to take things to a decider.
