The best tennis players in the world have arrived in Melbourne for the Australian Open, the first big tournament of the year. The official draw for the men’s and women’s singles will happen on Thursday at Melbourne Park.
2024 champions Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka will show off their trophies outside the Margaret Court Arena. The tournament director, Craig Tiley, will lead the draw alongside referee Wayne McKewen, while former doubles champions Todd Woodbridge and Jelena Dokic will host the ceremony.
On Thursday, the qualifying rounds for singles players will also wrap up. Outside courts at Melbourne Park have already seen intense matches as players ranked just outside the top 100 try to earn their place in the main tournament.
Both fans and players are eager to see who they might face in the early rounds. They hope to avoid tricky matchups and play against big names only later on, like Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev for men, or Jelena Ostapenko and Victoria Azarenka for women.
There will also be unseeded players like Nick Kyrgios and Naomi Osaka who could surprise top players right from the first round, which makes for exciting matches early in the tournament.
