The Australian Open now plays its first round on three different days, as does the French Open.

However, it's well known that star players don't necessarily like to start on a Sunday, and often prefer to play their first match on Monday or Tuesday.

To kick off this 2025 edition in Melbourne, 32 matches will be played on Sunday, including the match between Alexander Zverev (No.2 seed) and Lucas Pouille, and the debut of world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka against Sloane Stephens.

Ruud - Munar, Humbert - Gigante, Virtanen - Fils and Nishikori - Monteiro are the matches to watch on the men's side. On the women's side, Bouzkova - Andreeva, Badosa - Wang and Parry - Vekic will all be in action.

You can see the full list of matches to be played on Sunday below.

Training future champions: spotlight on the decline of the French public model facing private academies

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
