Australian Open 2025 TV Schedule: Day-by-Day Listings for Entire Bracket
In the 2025 Australian Open men's draw, Novak Djokovic is seeking a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title.
The seventh seed has won the year's first slam 10 times and has reached the fourth round of the Australian Open in 16 of the last 18 years.

Both defending champion Jannik Sinner and four-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz possess shorter odds.
In the women's bracket, back-to-back Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka got off to a dominant start, defeating one-time Grand Slam champion Sloane Stephens, 6-3, 6-2.
Here's everything you need to know for the 2025 Australian Open, including a day-by-day TV schedule for the event and a preview of both the men's and women's draws.

Men's Preview
Novak Djokovic may have won 10 Australian Open titles throughout his illustrious career, but he's not the player to chase this time around.
Instead, everyone is looking up to Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
The duo is responsible for all four Grand Slam titles in 2024, with Sinner sweeping the two hard-court Grand Slam tournaments.
The top-seeded Italian will open up his campaign later Sunday night against Nicolas Jarry.
While the top three favorites are Sinner, Alcaraz, and Djokovic, players such as last year's runner-up, Daniil Medvedev, and No. 4 seed Taylor Fritz, who in 2024 became the first American man to reach a Grand Slam final since 2006, should not be counted out.
Ultimately, it is expected that Sinner is able to emerge from the top half of the draw, likely facing Daniil Medvedev in the semifinal round.
In the bottom half of the draw, Alcaraz starts as the favorite, though Djokovic and Alexander Zverev are equally capable of reaching the final.
Women's Preview
On the women's side, everyone is looking up to Aryna Sabalenka.
The back-to-back Australian Open champion began her campaign for a third straight title in Melbourne Park with a decisive straight-set victory over one-time Grand Slam champion, Sloane Stephens.
Since the 2023 season began, Sabalenka has won three of the four hard-court Grand Slam tournaments—her sole loss coming in the 2023 U.S. Open final to Coco Gauff.
Sabalenka is expected to reach the final again, though she could face significant challenges in the semifinal round against Gauff.
In the bottom half of the women's draw, Iga Swiatek enters as the favorite to reach the final.
However, the five-time Grand Slam champion is in a tough bottom half of the draw, where she's likely to face challenges as early as the third round, with a potential matchup against a player such as Amanda Anisimova or Emma Raducanu looming.
While Sabaelnka is expected to emerge from the top half of the draw, the bottom half is open for opportunity, and it's expected that either Iga Swiatek or Emma Navarro emerges to face Sabalenka in the final.
