Australian Open 2025 order of play (Sunday 26th January)

Watch Australian Open 2025: Sunday's final times

Siniakova & Townsend (1) vs Hsieh & Ostapenko (3) women's doubles final – 3pm AEDT / 11pm ET / 8pm PT / 4am GMT
Jannik Sinner (1) vs Alexander Zverev (19) – 7.30pm AEDT / 3.30am ET / 12.30am PT / 8.30am GMT

Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner won two Grand Slams each last year and came into this month's tournament at the summit of the world rankings as hot favorites to retain their titles.

But the unfancied Madison Keys shocked the tennis world when she defeated Sabalenka over three thrilling sets in Saturday's women's final. Having already defeated the Iga Swiatek and compatriot Danielle Collins, it sealed a remarkable maiden Grand Slam for the Floridian.

Alexander Zvererv will be hoping for some of that underdog's fairy dust when he takes on Sinner on Sunday in attempt to break his own major duck. Although his luck may have already run dry after 10-time champ Novak Djokovic retired with injury in their semi. You can find out specific details on their match in our dedicated guide to watch Sinner vs Zverev for the men's title.
