Not Alexander Zverev, or Aryna Sabalenka, or Qinwen Zheng. The first main protagonist of the Australian Open 2025 is the rain. After several days of sunshine and blistering heat in Melbourne, it was Sunday that the water, which poured heavily from 12 noon, forced a halt to matches on most courts.
Only the three with retractable roofs, the Rod Laver Arena, the Margaret Court Arena and the John Cain Arena, were able to continue with the scheduled match program.
Today, Aryna Sabalenka will try to start the defense of her title in the afternoon session (09 Spanish time) at Rod Laver Arena, before Alexander Zverev begins his latest bid for his first Grand Slam title.
As for the Spaniards, the opening day will be attended by Paula Badosa, eleventh seed, who is guaranteed to play today because her match is scheduled at the John Cain Arena (09 Spanish time)third stage according to the relationship of the complex.
In the same situation is Jaume Munar, who will face Casper Ruud at the Rod Laver Arena at around 03 Spanish time.
the rest, Jessica Bouzas, Cristina Bucsa, Pedro Martínez and Alejandro Davidovichthey will play (if they can) outside the court.
