He is a candidate in any tournament but, in the Grand Slam that he is missing, Carlos Alcaraz cannot “stay in the mold.” The 2025 Australian Open offers you an ideal field to advance with lead steps and increasing the intensity as the rounds pass.

He will start against the Kazakh Alexander Shevchenko his journey in the first Grand Slam of the season, with which he has only played once, at the Madrid Masters 1000, on clay and which he won in two sets and can face Novak Djokovic, winner ten times in Melbourne , in the quarterfinals if both beat their respective opponents first.

Along Alcaraz’s path, other potential rivals appear such as the Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka, the Australian Jordan Thompson, the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov and the British Jack Draper in the round of 16.

The Spaniard, third in the world, will only play with Jannik Sinner, current champion of the tournament and number one in the ATP ranking, in a hypothetical final, after the draw held this Thursday in Melbourne to establish the configuration of the tournament.

Projected quarterfinals

(1) Sinner vs. (8) De Minaur
(4) Fritz vs. (5) Medvedev
(3) Alcaraz vs. (7) Djokovic
(2) Zverev vs. (6) Ruud
