Australian Open 2023 Men’s Tournament Predictions

We head straight into who will reach the quarter-finals. These are not shocking or bold predictions, but what we thought would make the most sense based on recent results and form. Djokovic looks very hungry to grab his 22nd grand slam after a strange year where he could only play two out of four of the biggest tournaments.

Can someone stop Djokovic? As you might know, Alcaraz is injured, and Nadal has not had the best start to the year (although you can never count Rafa out). Medvedev has been in two straight finals, but does he have the game to cross the finish line?

Quarter-finals

Medvedev vs Tiafoe

Tsitsipas vs Aliassime

Rune vs Djokovic

Fritz vs Ruud

Semi-finals

Medvedev vs Aliassime

Djokovic vs Fritz

Final

Medvedev vs Djokovic

Winner: Djokovic

Australian Open 2023 Women’s Tournament Predictions

The women’s tournament feels more open than the men’s (as usual, since the GOATs took over!), and it’s much more difficult to predict. There are things to be said for world number one Iga Swiatek, but in the end, we went with Caroline Garcia winning her first slam.

Who do you think will end up hoisting the trophy? Are we spot on, or are we completely out of touch?

Quarter-finals

Swiatek vs Gauff

Pegula vs Sakkari

Kasatkina vs Garcia

Sabalenka vs Jabeur

Semi-finals

Swiatek vs Pegula

Garcia vs Sabalenka

Final

Pegula vs Garcia

Winner: Garcia
