Follow Carlos Alcaraz’s debut at the 2025 Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of the year, live.
Carlos Alcaraz will make his debut this Monday at 9:00 a.m. (Spanish time) at the Australian Open, against Aleksandr Shevchenko. The 24-year-old Russian-Kazakh player represents the first obstacle for Alcaraz, who has not yet managed to win this Grand Slam, the only trophy of the four majors which still eludes him. Today marks the start of the Spanish player’s main goal in 2025, and we’ll be covering it live, game by game, on OKDIARIO.
Alcaraz arrives in Australia as the leading candidate to dethrone Jannik Sinner, even though this Grand Slam has historically been the most difficult for him. A victory in Melbourne would make the Spaniard, who will be 21 years and 266 days old on the day of the final, the youngest player in history to achieve the Grand Slam in his career, surpassing the all-time record of Don Budge and Rafa Nadal’s current ATP Tour record.

Although he did not finish last season in great form, Alcaraz, who already holds a title at Roland Garros, two at Wimbledon and a US Open, enters 2025 with the aim of lifting another Grand Slam. His first opportunity to achieve this comes in Australia, the only major that still eludes him, where his best result so far is a quarter-final qualification last year, where he was unable to overcome Alexander Zverev .
-The Spaniard, ranked third and having not played an official match since the Davis Cup finals, will begin his journey against Shevchenko, and on paper he faces a manageable draw since he would only meet Sinner in final. However, in the second week, the formidable presence of the king of Melbourne, Novak Djokovic, could loom in the quarter-finals.
