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.

What if tennis lost its soul? The case of robotized officiating, between tradition and a dehumanized modernity

Adrien Guyot 13/12/2025 à 17h00

Omnipresent cameras, line judges on the verge of extinction, mistakes that persist nonetheless: technology fascinates as much as it divides. Tennis, at a crossroads, is still searching for its balance between progress and emotion.

As a laboratory for tomorrow’s tennis, does the Next Gen Masters have a future?

Jules Hypolite 14/12/2025 à 01h01

Conceived as a bold bet to prepare for the post–Big 3 era, the Next Gen Masters has shaken up the codes of modern tennis. A pioneering, visionary tournament, but now in search of an identity.

Struggles with injuries and lack of money: the double punishment for tennis players far from the Top 100 stars

Clément Gehl 30/11/2025 à 20h25

A tennis player's income depends solely on his sporting results. In the event of injury, the daily life of those far from the Top 100 can become extremely complicated.

The impact of the war on tennis in Ukraine: financial aid, foundations, governing bodies and all‑round headaches

Adrien Guyot 29/11/2025 à 17h08

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared. While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions. This extends all the way to the highest level, where professional players have spoken out, trying as best they can to help their nation.

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.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
