2022 Australian Open – Men's singlesRafael Nadal defeated Daniil Medvedev in the final, 2–6, 6–7(5–7), 6–4, 6–4, 7–5 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2022 Australian Open. It was his second Australian Open title and 21st major singles title overall, surpassing the all-time record he had jointly held with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Nadal became the fourth man, after Roy Emerson, Rod Laver, and Djokovic, to achieve the double career Grand Slam, and the second in the Open Era. He also became the first man in the Open Era to win an Australian Open final after losing the first two sets. This marked the third consecutive year a man trailed by two sets in a major final yet rallied to win, following Djokovic's two-set comeback at the 2021 French Open and Dominic Thiem's at the 2020 US Open. Djokovic was the three-time reigning champion, but did not compete after his visa was cancelled shortly before the tournament began due to an intervention from Australia's Immigration Minister Alex Hawke, citing risks to public health and good order in Australia. That meant Nadal was the only former champion (2009) to compete in the tournament, with both Federer and Stan Wawrinka sidelined by injury. Djokovic retained the world No. 1 singles ranking despite being unable to defend his points after Medvedev and Alexander Zverev lost in the final and fourth round, respectively. Matteo Berrettini became the first man born in the 1990s to reach the quarterfinals at all four majors, and the first Italian man to reach the semifinals of the Australian Open.
2023 Australian Open – Men's singlesNovak Djokovic defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final, 6–3, 7–6(7–4), 7–6(7–5) to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2023 Australian Open. It was his record-extending tenth Australian Open title and 22nd major men's singles title overall, equaling Rafael Nadal's all-time record. He also became the second man to win ten titles at a single major, after Nadal at the French Open. Djokovic extended his match winning-streak at the Australian Open to an Open Era record 28 matches. It was his first appearance at the tournament since 2021, having been deported from the country the year before. Nadal was the defending champion, but lost in the second round to Mackenzie McDonald. This marked the two-time champion and six-time finalist's final Australian Open appearance. Carlos Alcaraz, Casper Ruud, Tsitsipas and Djokovic were in contention for the world No. 1 singles ranking at the beginning of the tournament. By winning the tournament, Djokovic claimed the top spot. Alcaraz, the incumbent world No. 1, withdrew from the tournament due to a right leg injury. As it was in the previous major held a few months earlier, neither of the top two seeds advanced to the quarterfinals, with Nadal and Ruud both losing in the second round; this marked the first men's singles major since the 2002 Australian Open where the top two seeds lost prior to the third round. Tsitsipas became the youngest finalist since Djokovic in 2011. Tommy Paul became the first American man to reach the semifinals since Andy Roddick in 2009. With his win over Thanasi Kokkinakis in the longest match of his career, Andy Murray won a match from two sets down for a record eleventh time.
2024 Australian Open – Men's singlesJannik Sinner defeated Daniil Medvedev in the final, 3–6, 3–6, 6–4, 6–4, 6–3 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2024 Australian Open. It was his first major singles title. Sinner was the second Italian man in the Open Era to win a singles major, after Adriano Panatta at the 1976 French Open. He was the first new Australian Open men's singles champion since Stan Wawrinka in 2014. Medvedev lost the final after winning the first two sets (as he did in 2022), making him the only player in the Open Era to lose two major finals after having a two-set lead and the second to lose all of his first three Australian Open finals, after Andy Murray. Medvedev also set Open Era records for the most time spent playing at one edition of a singles major, at 24 hours and 17 minutes, and for the most sets played in a singles major, at 31. Novak Djokovic was the defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Sinner. His loss ended a 33-match winning streak at the Australian Open and marked his first-ever defeat in an Australian Open semifinal. Djokovic retained the world No. 1 singles ranking after Carlos Alcaraz lost in the quarterfinals; Daniil Medvedev was also in contention for the top spot. A record number of seeded players (30 of 32 seeds) advanced to the second round, for the first time since the introduction of the 32-seed system at the 2001 Wimbledon Championships. The tournament featured a record-equaling 35 five-set matches, tying the Open Era record set at the 1983 US Open (surpassed soon after by the 2024 Wimbledon Championships). This marked the final Australian Open appearance for five-time finalist, three-time major champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and former world No. 1 Murray. He lost to Tomás Martín Etcheverry in the first round. It was also the final Australian Open appearance for 2020 finalist, 2020 US Open champion, and former world No. 3 Dominic Thiem. He lost to Félix Auger-Aliassime in the first round.
2025 Australian OpenThe 2025 Australian Open was a Grand Slam level tennis tournament held at Melbourne Park from 12 to 26 January 2025. It was the 113th edition of the Australian Open, the 57th in the Open Era, and the first major of the year. The tournament consisted of events for professional players in singles, doubles and mixed doubles. Junior and wheelchair players competed in singles and doubles tournaments. Jannik Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev and successfully defended the men's singles title. Madison Keys won the women's singles champion, after defeating two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka in the final. The 2025 Australian Open became the first Australian Open to present pickleball. From January 24 to the 26th the AO Pickleball Slam tournament was held. Over A$100 000 in prize money was awarded to some of Australia's top professional pickleball players.
2025 Australian Open – Men's singlesDefending champion Jannik Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev in the final, 6–3, 7–6(7–4), 6–3 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2025 Australian Open. It was his second Australian Open title and third major title overall. Sinner was the youngest man to defend the title since Jim Courier in 1993, and the youngest to defend their first major title since Rafael Nadal at the 2006 French Open. Novak Djokovic retired in his semifinal match against Zverev due to injury. Djokovic's second-round match marked his 430th career major main draw singles match, surpassing Roger Federer's all-time record. Carlos Alcaraz was vying to become the youngest man to complete the career Grand Slam in singles, but he lost to Djokovic in the quarterfinals. João Fonseca was the first teenager to defeat a top-10 opponent on their major debut since Mario Ančić defeated Federer at the 2002 Wimbledon Championships. Learner Tien was the youngest man to reach the fourth round at the Australian Open since Nadal in 2005. With the victories of Fonseca, Tien and Jakub Menšík over top-10-ranked opponents, this marked the third occasion in which three different teenagers had accomplished the feat at a major (after the 1990 and 2006 French Opens). With his victory over fourth seed Taylor Fritz in the third round, Gaël Monfils at 38 years old, was the oldest man to defeat a top-5 seeded opponent at a major since Ken Rosewall defeated John Newcombe at the 1974 US Open, and the oldest to do so at the Australian Open since the introduction of the ATP rankings. Hady Habib became the first Lebanese player, male or female, to qualify for and win a match in the main draw of a major in the Open Era.
2025 French Open – Men's singlesDefending champion Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner in the final, 4–6, 6–7(4–7), 6–4, 7–6(7–3), 7–6(10–2) to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2025 French Open. It was his second French Open title and fifth major title overall. Alcaraz saved three championship points en route to the title, becoming the third man in the Open Era to win a major after saving championship points, after Gastón Gaudio at the 2004 French Open and Novak Djokovic at the 2019 Wimbledon Championships. Both players served for the championship, but both were broken. At 5 hours and 29 minutes long, it was the longest French Open final in history (surpassing the 1982 final), and the second-longest major final overall, after the 2012 Australian Open final. Alcaraz became the second man in the Open Era (after Roger Federer) to win his first five major finals. It was also the first men's singles major final to be contested by two players born in the 2000s. With his fourth-round win, Djokovic became the second player (after Rafael Nadal) to achieve 100 career match wins at the French Open, as well as the third man to win 100 matches at a major, alongside Nadal at the French Open and Federer at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon Championships. Additionally, Djokovic broke Federer's record for the most quarterfinals at one major, with 19, and became the second-oldest man in the Open Era to reach the French Open semifinals after Pancho Gonzales (in 1968). This marked the first time in the Open Era that two Italian men (Lorenzo Musetti and Sinner) reached the semifinals of a singles major, and the first time at the French Open since Nicola Pietrangeli and Orlando Sirola in 1960. Alexander Bublik became the first Kazakhstani man to reach a major singles quarterfinal. Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe were the first American men to reach the French Open quarterfinals since Andre Agassi in 2003, marking the first time that multiple American men did so since Pete Sampras and Jim Courier in 1996. This tournament marked the final professional appearance of former world No. 7 and three-time major semifinalist Richard Gasquet, who lost in the second round to Sinner. His 22nd participation at the event was the most in the Open Era, and equaled the all-time record of Antoine Gentien. With his win over Hugo Dellien in the first round, Gaël Monfils claimed his 40th career main draw match win, equaling Yannick Noah for the most singles main-draw wins at the tournament by a French player.
2025 French Open – Women's singlesCoco Gauff defeated Aryna Sabalenka in the final, 6–7(5–7), 6–2, 6–4 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2025 French Open. It was her first French Open singles title and second major singles title overall. Gauff was the first American woman to win the title since Serena Williams in 2015. It was the first French Open final between the world No. 1 and 2 since 2013, and was a rematch of the Madrid final five weeks prior. Sabalenka was the first woman to reach the final of three consecutive majors since Williams in 2016. Iga Świątek was the three-time defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Sabalenka. The defeat ended her 26-match win streak in the event, second only to Chris Evert's 29 consecutive wins. Ranked No. 361, Loïs Boisson was the first Frenchwoman to reach the singles semifinals of the French Open since Marion Bartoli in 2011, and the first wildcard to do so in the Open Era. Boisson was only the third woman in the Open Era to reach the semifinals of a major on her singles main-draw debut, after Monica Seles and Jennifer Capriati at the 1989 and 1990 French Opens, respectively. With her first-round win, Victoria Azarenka became the oldest woman to score a double bagel in a singles major main-draw match in the Open Era. She also became the first woman to achieve the feat in three different decades. This marked the final French Open appearance of former world No. 4 and two-time doubles champion Caroline Garcia. She lost in the first round to Bernarda Pera.
