Jannik Sinner will be the No 1 seed for his title defence at the 2025 Australian Open, while Alexander Zverev will be seeded above Carlos Alcaraz.
Sinner, who has occupied the world No 1 spot since June 2024, will be the top seed for the third straight major after last year’s editions of Wimbledon and the US Open.
The 23-year-old Italian, who is the reigning Australian Open and US Open champion, sits on 11,830 points, giving him a 4,195-point lead over world No 2 Zverev in the Live ATP Rankings.
Zverev is 625 points clear of third-placed Alcaraz, while world No 4 Taylor Fritz will be the fourth seed at a Grand Slam for the first time in his career in Melbourne.
Daniil Medvedev and Casper Ruud are set to be seeded fifth and sixth respectively, while 10-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic will be the No 7 seed. This will be Djokovic’s lowest seeding at a Grand Slam since he was 12th seed at Wimbledon in 2018.
Alex de Minaur will complete the top eight at his home major by occupying what will be his highest-ever seeding position at a Grand Slam.
With five players in the top 32 of the ATP Rankings, the United States will have the most seeded players in the men’s singles draw: Fritz (4), Tommy Paul (12), Frances Tiafoe (17), Ben Shelton (21) and Sebastian Korda (22).
As things stand, no players who are due to be seeded in the Australian Open men’s singles draw have withdrawn from the tournament.
