Australian Open today – matches from 22.01.
Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic will play the first semi-final at the Australian Open 2025, which should be a close, exciting and long affair! In the Australian Open tips today, we are looking for the two other semi-finalists.
Among them is Australian Open top favorite Jannik Sinner, whose place in the final is actually only a formality. He is likely to have the most difficult match until the final today. He faces local hero Alex De Minaur, who, like the South Tyrolean, is a very agile player on the court and shines on the defensive.
There should be some long rallies and Sinner will work up a sweat. I have a suitable bet for you in the corresponding section. So far, the South Tyrolean is still unbeaten against the 25-year-old.
Before we see the two top 10 players on Rod Laver, Ben Shelton and Lorenzo Sonego will enter the court. Shelton is clearly ahead according to our betting odds. A little too much for my taste. Before the tournament, I would have also rated Shelton as clearly stronger, but what Sinner’s compatriot has been showing in the last few days is very strong.
Australian Open tips today – 22.01.2025 Preview of day 12
Shelton against Sonego should be really exciting and we can look forward to spectacular rallies between Sinner and De Minaur. The second day of the men’s quarter-finals in Melbourne promises to be a good one.
And that’s not all that’s on offer. Finally, the women will also finish the round of the last eight players. Madison Keys and Elina Svitolina will start. We can look forward to a real cracker here!
After that, we will see none other than Iga Swiatek at the Rod Laver Arena. The American was already in the semi-finals of the US Open, where she lost to Aryna Sabalenka. She wants to annoy Swiatek, who recently sent the surprise eight-finalist Eva Lys home with 6-0, 6-1.
The Pole has not yet won the Australian Open. Will it work this time? She has been playing a very strong tournament so far and the winner of the last two years, Sabalenka, is stumbling more than last year.

Australian Open tips today 22.01.: Keys – Svitolina (01:30)
Keys pulled off the coup against Rybakina, beating the Kazakh in three sets and is now also considered the favorite in the quarterfinals before her match against Svitolina. She leads the head-to-head 3-2, but in this decade there has only been one encounter so far that Keys won in straight sets.
The Ukrainian has also put in a solid performance so far, beating Jasmine Paolini in straight sets and only losing a set in that match. Overall, she has allowed only a few breaks.
Our expert tip: set win Svitolina
Australian Open betting today 22.01.: Navarro – Swiatek (03:00)
Swiatek is particularly strong on clay. But she is also currently doing really well on hard courts, has only had short matches so far, and has only lost four games in the last three rounds! She lost two in the only match against Emma Navarro on clay.
Meanwhile, eighth-seeded Navarro has only had tough matches in Melbourne, and has always had to go into a third set. She has already lost a whopping 27 service games. That could prove difficult against Swiatek.
Our expert betting tip: Under 18.5 games
Australian Open betting today 22.01.: Shelton – Sonego (04:30)
This has already been the best Grand Slam tournament so far for Sonego. The man from Turin has never made it to the quarterfinals of a major before – and I think he can do even better. In particular, I still see deficits in the return of the only 22-year-old Shelton, who still lacks the right risk dosage in some moments.
The US American hard court ace only had one round one walkover. In view of the world rankings, Sonego did not have any big names in front of him, but he beat Joao Fonseca, a Brazilian newcomer, and, in addition to the Rublev winner, he also beat Medvedev’s conqueror, Learner Tien.
Our expert tip: Over 3.5 sets
Australian Open Tips today 22.01.: Sinner – De Minaur (09:30 am)
Sinner has won all nine of his matches against De Minaur. In fact, the Australian has only managed to win a single set against Sinner so far. Given his current form, I have more confidence in the 25-year-old underdog in front of his home crowd.
The number one seed has already had to play a fourth set twice and take a medical timeout in the round of 16. De Minaur, on the other hand, has only lost a set to Alex Michelsen. In three-set matches, I think he is capable of pulling off a few surprises.
Our expert tip: Over 33.5 games
