The top 32 ranked men's players at Australian Open 2025 have been given a seeding. This means those players will be protected from facing other seeds until later in the tournament. It also designates that players ranked 1-4 cannot play against each other until at least the semi-finals.

Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic are the biggest names who remain in contention for the season-opening Grand Slam's crown

In the recent years, Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz, Andrey Rublev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and even Alexander Zverev have not been lived up to their billing.

They met last year in the Wimbledon final (won by Alcaraz) and Olympic final (won by Djokovic).The top seed is Jannik Sinner, who won the Australian Open and U.S. Open last year. He can break his tie with Nicola Pietrangeli for the most Grand Slam singles titles for an Italian.
