Incidentally, Sinner and Sabalenka’s wins on the hard were both their second Grand Slams of the season with both previously having won the Australian Open in January. With 2025 fast approaching, will the pair be able to repeat their impressive campaigns? Here at Engage we take you through all you need to know for the 2025 Tennis Grand Slams calendar!
Australian Open 2025, 6th-26th January
First up on the Grand Slam calendar will be the hotly contested Australian Open. Taking place on the hard courts of Melbourne Park, the best stars in tennis will travel from across the world in the hope of kicking off their 2025 with a Grand Slam.
In the men’s singles, Janik Sinner saw off former World Number 1, Novak Djokovic before beating Daniil Medvedev in the final having been 2 sets down. It was the Italian’s first Grand Slam win and a breakthrough victory that had been on the cards for a while, upsetting favourite Novak Djokovic in the process.
Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka was victorious in the women’s singles after beating Coco Gauff in the semi-final before facing up to Chinese star Qinwen Zheng in the final. Sabalenka won in straight sets conceding only 5 total games to Zheng, capping off a dominant final and defending her Australian Open title.
French Open 2025, 25th May-8th June
A long break between Grand Slams awaits players between the Australian Open and the French Open, however, the four month gap is certainly worth the wait as players take to the clay at the iconic Paris venue. More commonly known as Roland-Garros, this iconic tournament has taken place in the French capital since 1891 boasting winners such as Rafael Nadal, Bjorn Borg, Steffi Graf and Serena Williams.
In 2024, it was Carlos Alcaraz who won the men’s singles title. After a close fought battle with Sinner in the semi-finals. The Spaniard came out on top before beating Alexander Zverev to win his third Grand Slam and his first of 2024.
As far as the women’s singles was concerned, it was a comfortable victory for World Number 1 Iga Świątek defeating Jasmine Paolini in straight sets. With the win, Świątek claimed her fourth Roland-Garros title and her fifth Grand Slam to establish herself as one of the greats. Astonishingly, she only lost one set across the entire tournament! It was another agonising semi-final defeat for Coco Gauff as she fell victim to the Pole’s dominance on the clay.
Can Świątek produce yet another title on the clay in 2025?
Wimbledon 2025, 30th June-13th July
Perhaps the most prestigious tournament, 2025 will see Wimbledon take place once again in London. The grass tournament that has taken place since 1877 has seen the best of tennis over the years and will continue to do so in 2025. In possibly the biggest Grand Slam, will we see one of the usuals take the title or will there be an upset in 2025?
In 2024, Carlos Alcaraz made it two Grand Slams in a row as a spectacular display saw him defeat former World Number 1, Novak Djokovic in straight sets. The Spaniard looked unstoppable capitalising on the Serbian’s bad day and his own impressive form to win consecutive Wimbledon titles. It was an upset that perhaps marks the start of a new era in tennis after Djokovic’s brilliance for so many years.
Meanwhile, the women’s singles saw an unexpected result as Barbora Krejčíková took victory in a tense final. Krejčíková who has had a difficult season due to injury won only her second Grand Slam to add to her French Open title from 2021. Unfortunately for Jasmine Paolini it was another final defeat as the Italian came up short once again. She will be eager to challenge for the honours in 2025 and redeem herself in both competitions.
US Open 2025, 25th August-7th September
The final Grand Slam of the season comes in the form of the US Open as players will battle it out for the final major of the year in New York. In what is expected to be a thrilling spectacle, the best players from all over the world give it their all in the hope that they can come away with a Grand Slam title at the end of the season.
This year saw Jannik Sinner claim his second title of the year winning straight sets in both the semi-final and the final. The Italian beat home-favourite Taylor Fritz in a dominant contest at the Arthur Ashe Stadium showing no mercy in front of the American crowd. It will be an interesting battle between Sinner and Alcaraz next season and where the Grand Slam titles will go in 2025 as they look to be the next players to conquer men’s tennis.
Aryna Sabalenka claimed her second title of the year, also defeating a member of the host nation, Jess Pegula, in straight sets. It’s difficult to say who will dominate women’s tennis in 2025 but both Sabalenka and Świątek certainly make a good case for it. However, they will be wary of Paolini and Gauff amongst others where the World Number 1 spot is less stable than the men’s game.
Four Grand Slams, four countries, eight individual winners. Who will take the honours in 2025 in what is expected to be another thrilling year for tennis? Can Jannik Sinner cement himself as World Number 1? Will Aryna Sabalenka be able to overcome Iga Świątek and regain the number 1 spot?
