Ideas on the Draw

First Quarter: Sinner Prime Seed

Seeded Gamers: (1) Jannik Sinner, (8) Alex de Minaur, (11) Stefanos Tsitsipas, (13) Holger Rune, (18) Hubert Hurkacz, (19) Karen Khachanov, (31) Francisco Cerundolo, (31) Flavio Cobolli

Projected Quarterfinal: Jannik Sinner vs Alex de Minaur

Two-time failed doping check and defending champion Jannik Sinner heads up this quarter; he comes into Melbourne off the again of a career-defining season, overcoming a silent ban to safe eight titles in 2024, together with two Grand Slams—his maiden Main on the Australian Open and a second triumph on the US Open.

Sinner opens his title defence in opposition to Chilean Nicolas Jarry, who had an detached finish to the season after a robust begin when he made the ultimate in Rome.

Ought to he advance, a second-round conflict with Taro Daniel is probably going. Marcos Giron or Flavio Cobolli might check sinner within the third spherical, whereas an intriguing fourth-round showdown looms in opposition to Hubert Hurkacz or Matteo Berrettini—each unlikely to however able to pulling off an upset.

The quarterfinals might pit Sinner in opposition to Alex de Minaur. Like Sinner, De Minaur had a stellar 2024 season that noticed him attain his first ATP Finals. Final week, he introduced throughout the ATP Cup that his legs had been again after some damage issues hindered him post-US Open.

De Minaur would possible must navigate previous Botic van de Zandschulp, Federico Coria, Alexander Bublik, and Stefanos Tsitsipas. All of them are harmful however have proven an excessive amount of inconsistency these days. Tsitsipas, specifically, had a poor 2024, and he didn’t look too intelligent on the ATP Cup, so my expectations are low. 

Whereas a Sinner vs De Minaur matchup is attention-grabbing, particularly for the house followers, the Italian holds a commanding 9-0 head-to-head file over the Aussie, so it’s laborious to see something aside from a snug Sinner victory.

Second Quarter

Seeded Gamers: (4) Taylor Fritz, (5) Daniil Medvedev, (9) Andrey Rublev, (16) Lorenzo Musetti, (17) Frances Tiafoe, (21) Ben Shelton, (25) Alexei Popyrin, (30) Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard

Projected Quarterfinal: Taylor Fritz vs Daniil Medvedev

Fourth seed Taylor Fritz anchors this part of the draw as he chases his elusive first Grand Slam title. The American got here agonisingly shut final season, reaching his maiden Main last on the US Open, solely to be outclassed by Jannik Sinner in straight units.

This time, Fritz will look to go one step additional, however he faces stiff competitors in a stacked quarter that includes three of his fellow countrymen: Ben Shelton, Brandon Nakashima, and Frances Tiafoe.

Fritz additionally begins his marketing campaign in opposition to fellow American Jenson Brooksby, who’s been out injured and had a doping suspension. Nonetheless, he’s a difficult opponent with an attention-grabbing recreation type, so he gained’t make issues straightforward.

A possible second-round conflict with Borna Coric might additionally check his consistency, whereas the third spherical may pit him in opposition to the big-serving Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. However the true headline matchup might come within the fourth spherical, the place Fritz is projected to face shut pal and compatriot Ben Shelton.

If Fritz can advance to the quarterfinals, he’ll possible face Daniil Medvedev or Andrey Rublev.

Medvedev, the fifth seed and a final 12 months overwhelmed finalist, usually performs nicely in Melbourne however hasn’t performed any warm-up occasions because of the beginning of his second little one. Can he re-find his type after a fairly poor 2024 season?

Third Quarter

Seeded Gamers: (3) Carlos Alcaraz, (7) Novak Djokovic, (10) Grigor Dimitrov, (15) Jack Draper, (22) Sebastian Korda, (24) Jiri Lehecka, (26) Tomas Machac, (27) Jordan Thompson

Projected Quarterfinal: Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz

Third seed Carlos Alcaraz and seventh seed Novak Djokovic headline this quarter of the draw. Djokovic enters Melbourne with query marks after ending 2024 with out successful a title and exiting the Brisbane Worldwide within the quarterfinals.

In distinction, Alcaraz has but to step onto the court docket this season, however he had a profitable 2024 season with two Grand Slam titles.

Djokovic opens his marketing campaign in opposition to wildcard Nishesh Basavareddy, who’s within the semi-finals in Auckland. That is followsemifinalstial checks in opposition to Pavel Kotov, Reilly Opelka (who beat him in Brisbane), and Grigor Dimitrov.

In the meantime, Alcaraz begins in opposition to Alexander Shevchenko. As he works by the draw, he could face Yoshihito Nishioka, Jordan Thompson, and Jack Draper.

A quarterfinal showdown between Alcaraz and Djokovic could be a rematch of their Olympic Ultimate, so it’s the match most individuals need to see occur. These guys are in all probability my two favorite energetic gamers, so I do, too.

Backside Quarter

Seeded Gamers: (2) Alexander Zverev, (6) Casper Ruud, (12) Tommy Paul, (14) Ugo Humbert, (20) Arthur Fils, (23) Alejandro Tabilo, (28) Sebastian Baez, (29) Felix Auger-Aliassime

Projected Quarterfinal: Alexander Zverev vs Casper Ruud

Second seed Alexander Zverev arrives in Melbourne in nice type. Like Fritz in New York, Zverev got here near successful his first Grand Slam on the French Open, falling to Carlos Alcaraz within the last. He additionally reached the semi-finals on the Australian Open final 12 months, the place Daniil Medvedev stopped him.

Zverev opens his marketing campaign in opposition to wildcard Lucas Pouille in a matchup that ought to permit him to search out his rhythm early. A second-round conflict in opposition to Pedro Martinez is probably going, with a third-round encounter in opposition to dwelling favorite Nick Kyrgios doubtlessly on the playing cards. Within the fourth spherical, Zverev might face both harmful 14th seed Ugo Humbert or rising star Arthur Fils, the twentieth seed.

Wanting forward, Zverev is projected to satisfy sixth seed Casper Ruud or twenty ninth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime within the quarterfinals. Ruud’s expertise makes him the extra possible opponent.
