Alcaraz already knows who his first rivals of 2025 will be and his debut day in Australia

Just like Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz has chosen not to play any tournaments prior to the Open of Australia 2025. The player from Murcia plans to travel to Melbourne after spending Christmas with his family, to acclimatize as quickly as possible to the extreme Australian heat. Participating in the Opening week of the tournament, Carlitos already knows when he will play two exhibition matches and who his first two opponents of 2025 will be. Therefore, Alcaraz will step onto the court in Melbourne on Wednesday, January 8th at 9 in the morning in Spain (peninsular time) to face Alex de Miñaur. On Friday, January 10th, he will do the same at 7 in the morning (Spanish peninsular time) to play his last match before the Open of Australia. In this case, another local player, Alexei Popyrin, will be his opponent. A good test to see how Carlos is heading into the start of this season.
