Aryna Sabalenka Top Seed at Australian Open 2025

Aryna Sabalenka enters the 2025 Australian Open as the top seed and defending champion, aiming for her third consecutive title after winning the tournament in both 2023 and 2024. She has had an excellent start to the year, winning the Brisbane International with only one set dropped. Coco Gauff, ranked third, is seen as a strong contender after her impressive performance at the United Cup, where she defeated Iga Swiatek. Swiatek, now seeded second, is looking to overcome a doping controversy from last year and secure her first Australian Open title. Emerging talents like Zheng Qinwen and Mirra Andreeva are also highlighted as potential upsets in the tournament. The competition promises to be fierce as the top players vie for the first Grand Slam title of the year.
