“Schedules before the start of the Australian Open 2025”, — write: sport.ua
On the courts of Melbourne, the trophy has to be defended by the first racket of the world Arina Sobolenkowhich acts in a “neutral” status.
There are schedules in which Sobolenko may lose the lead in the WTA ranking. For this, of course, it is necessary that Arina does not win the Australian Open trophy again.
Arina can be bypassed Iga Svyontek and Coco Goffwhich currently occupy the second and third positions in the world ranking. Without going into details, it should be noted right away that if everything depends on Iga herself, then Koko should also hope for the unsuccessful performance of Sobolenko and Sviontek.
Schedules for the first racket of the world after the Australian Open 2025
As mentioned above, Svyontek can win the trophy at AO-2025 and return the first step. That is, if Iga and Arina play each other in the final, then the Pole must win and take the title in order to become the first racket of the world.
Iga can become the first without winning the Aus Open, and even by being eliminated in the first round. For this, it is necessary that Sobolenko does not reach the quarterfinals, and Goff does not take the trophy.
In Coco, the situation is more complicated. In addition to becoming the champion, the Americans also need Iga’s elimination in the 1st or 2nd round, as well as the absence of Sobolenko in the semifinals.
