The landscape of tennis was dominated by three players for nearly two decades, namely Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal.
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.

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.
Jannik Sinner swept Ben Shelton in straight sets while Alexander Zverev advanced Friday through an injury-related retirement from Novak Djokovic, setting up a 2025 Australian Open final between the Italian and German.
Ferrari vice chairman Piero Ferrari has drawn parallels between the generational dynamic of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton to that seen in tennis between Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic.

However, Shelton achieved a notable milestone and joined legendary Rafael Nadal on the exclusive list! Namely, Ben is the second left-hander with the semi-final at both hard-court Majors since 1988 after the 24-time Major winner!
