Mats Wilander has analyzed some eventualities that would occur on the Australian Open 2025, speaking about the primary gamers who can compete for the ultimate victory of the primary Main of the season.
The previous Swedish tennis participant, in an interview with Eurosport, for which he’s a commentator, may naturally begin from Jannik Sinner, ATP number one and defending champion, additionally going out on a limb about who can beat the Italian in Melbourne.
“Jannik closed 2024 in an exceptional way: I find it crazy that he won both the ATP Finals and the Davis Cup with Italy in just a few weeks. He is clearly the favorite going into the tournament, although I wouldn’t call him the absolute favorite because when you only have two Slam titles in your collection I don’t think you have earned the right to be called the big favorite.
Jannik is unquestionably the number one and, given the consistency of performance he is demonstrating, I think he can continue to remain at the top for another couple of years. Having said that, if Carlos Alcaraz were to play his best tennis, I am convinced that he could beat him,” analyzed the Swede.

Wilander then continued by speaking in regards to the prospects that the Italian or the Spaniard may win all 4 Majors in the identical season.
“The premise is that if Djokovic couldn’t achieve the Grand Slam, I don’t expect these two formidable guys to complete this feat either. However, I believe that Sinner currently has a better chance of trying than Alcaraz who, up until now, has seemed unbeatable for about a month, a half or two months.
Jannik has clearly won two Slams on hard courts (Australian Open and US Open) in 2024, which is undoubtedly the surface preferred by the vast majority of the top 100 in the world. Given the way he is able to be competitive on clay and grass, I don’t think it’s a remote possibility that he could aspire to win both Roland Garros and Wimbledon,” he added.
