Jannik Sinner’s Potential Australian Open 2025 Journey
Round 1: Jannik Sinner vs. Nicolas Jarry
Sinner’s first match in Melbourne pits him against Chilean Nicolas Jarry. Both players are tied at 1-1 in their head-to-head, making this a highly anticipated contest. Their last meeting saw Sinner emerge victorious in Beijing 2024, but Jarry’s previous win at ‘s-Hertogenbosch in 2019 means the Chilean could pose a serious challenge in this opening round.
Round 2: Jannik Sinner vs. Taro Daniel / Tristan Schoolkate
In the second round, Sinner is projected to face either Japan’s Taro Daniel or Australian wildcard Tristan Schoolkate. Sinner holds a comfortable 2-0 head-to-head advantage over Daniel, with wins at the 2022 Australian Open and the 2024 Shanghai Masters. Should Schoolkate progress, it would be the first meeting between Sinner and the young Australian.
Round 3: Jannik Sinner vs. Flavio Cobolli / Tomas Martin Etcheverry
The third round may see Sinner against either fellow Italian Flavio Cobolli or Argentina’s Tomas Martin Etcheverry. While Sinner has defeated Etcheverry twice, including at the 2023 Australian Open, a potential match against Cobolli would mark their first encounter. Cobolli’s breakthrough in 2024 positions him as a rising threat.
Round 4: Jannik Sinner vs. Holger Rune / Matteo Berrettini
In the fourth round, Sinner could face either Holger Rune or Matteo Berrettini. Sinner and Rune are tied 2-2 in their previous matches, with Rune pushing Sinner to his limits at the 2023 ATP Finals. Another possible clash against Berrettini, whom Sinner defeated in a tight four-set match at Wimbledon 2024, would guarantee a competitive match.
Quarter-Final: Jannik Sinner vs. Francisco Cerundolo / Stefanos Tsitsipas
The quarter-final could feature a tough battle between Sinner and either Francisco Cerundolo or Stefanos Tsitsipas. Both players have tested Sinner before; Cerundolo tied 2-2 with Sinner after a dramatic win at the Rome Masters, and Tsitsipas leading 6-3 in their rivalry, including victories at the Australian Open.
Semi-Final: Jannik Sinner vs. Taylor Fritz / Daniil Medvedev
A semi-final clash could see Sinner face Taylor Fritz or Daniil Medvedev. Fritz will be looking to avenge three consecutive losses to Sinner, most notably in the 2024 US Open final. Meanwhile, Medvedev’s record against Sinner stands at 8-7, with the Russian having won their intense Wimbledon quarter-final in 2024.
Final: Jannik Sinner vs. Alexander Zverev / Carlos Alcaraz / Novak Djokovic
Sinner’s ultimate test could come in the final, where he might face Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, or Novak Djokovic. Zverev leads 4-2 in their matchups, while Alcaraz has enjoyed three hard-court wins over Sinner in 2024. Not to be overlooked, Djokovic remains a formidable opponent with three prior wins over Sinner and a history of dominance at the Australian Open.
