The 2025 Australian Open is shaping up to be an exciting tournament with some highly anticipated matchups in the projected quarter-finals. Here’s a look at the potential line-up:

Jannik Sinner vs. Alex de Minaur: Defending champion Jannik Sinner is set to face home favorite Alex de Minaur. Sinner, coming off a career-defining season with two Grand Slam titles, will look to defend his title and continue his dominance. De Minaur, who had a stellar 2024 season, will be eager to challenge the top seed.

Taylor Fritz vs. Daniil Medvedev: Fourth seed Taylor Fritz, who reached his maiden Major final at the US Open last year, is projected to face fifth seed Daniil Medvedev. Medvedev, despite potential jet lag from the recent birth of his second child, remains a formidable opponent.

Carlos Alcaraz vs. Novak Djokovic: This is the most anticipated matchup of the tournament. Carlos Alcaraz, aiming to complete the Career Slam, could face ten-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic. Djokovic, chasing a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title, will be looking to assert his dominance once again.

Alexander Zverev vs. Casper Ruud: Second seed Alexander Zverev, who had a strong end to the season, is projected to face sixth seed Casper Ruud. Both players have shown great form and will be eager to advance to the semi-finals.
