The final matches for men's and women's singles at the 2025 Australian Open have been set. On the men's side, it is the top two ranked players in the world: Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev.
Grigor Dimitrov is also out of Rotterdam after suffering an injury in Australia, while World No.3 Alcaraz is now the top seed. Big guns Daniil Medvedev and de Minaur are set to play, with the Aussie hoping to go one better than his runner-up finish to Sinner in 2024.
Alexander Zverev has said that Jannik Sinner is "very similar" to Novak Djokovic after he was defeated by the Italian in the Australian Open final.

Clinical” is a word once reserved for Djokovic’s one-sided wins, but we can use it for Sinner’s rout of Zverev in the Australian Open final. He starts 2025 a step—or three—ahead of everyone else.
Sinner added to Alexander Zverev's grand slam misery, winning 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 on Rod Laver Arena. It meant he joined all-time legends Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer in winning three-straight majors on hard courts, after also triumphing at the Australian and US Opens in 2024.
