Australian Open 2025: Record Crowds Raise Fan Experience Questions

Follow The Athletic’s Australian Open coverage Welcome to the Australian Open briefing, where The Athletic will explain the stories behind the stories on each day of the tournament. On Day 3, the first round came to an end. Here’s what’s been happening Tuesday — and the previous two. A double-edged sword for a Grand Slam that wants to grow? As the first round winds up, there’s some good news for the Australian Open: It has pulled in record crowds at nearly every session so far. Advertisement The first day was the biggest day in tournament history. That record lasted 24 hours, with more than 200,000 people coming to Melbourne Park in the first two days. Fans thronged the grounds and filled the courts, packing out even the smallest stadia for rising players and tour players of all levels. The atmosphere was lively and hectic. There was also some bad news for the Australian Open, especially with two of the biggest days still to come on the middle weekend. It’s not clear that Melbourne Park can handle all the ticket-buyers. Getting in through the main entrance, near the Melbourne Park tram stop has been a mess each morning, with lines snaking for 100 meters or more in the hot sun as fans wait to get bags checked. Once they get in, it can be a challenge to find a place to see some balls being hit on a court. There are far more people than there are general admission seats at desirable matches, and the complex’s lack of vantage points means that hopeful attendees have waited hours on line to see not much in the way of action. As yet, organizers said, there is no limit on the number of grounds passes, which cost $59 AUD ($40 USD) this first week. The tournament paused sales briefly on Sunday, but then decided to let sales resume and the lines build. The crowds thinned by a modest 7,000 on the third day, but Melbourne Park was still thrumming. — Matt Futterman How did two rising WTA stars build on 2025? Another big event, another example of the benefits of putting in the hard yards in tennis’ equivalent of the minor leagues. Last year it was Victoria Mboko and Loïs Boisson who made their mark on the sport’s most prestigious stages after cutting a swathe through the ITF’s third-tier World Tennis Tour, and now Czechia’s Tereza Valentová and Janice Tjen of Indonesia look set to continue the trend. Advertisement Both players had success on the WTA Tour last year, as Valentová reached the Japan Open final and Tjen won the Chennai Open. They both picked up some wins at Grand Slams. But they are now building on their winning habits even more. Valentová, an 18-year-old who looks set to be the latest Czech success story on the WTA Tour, beat the No. 30 seed and home favorite Maya Joint 6-4, 6-4, while Tjen, a 23-year-old Pepperdine University graduate with a richly varied game, took out the No. 22 seed Leylah Fernandez 6-2, 7-6(1). Tjen’s victory was particularly impressive, as she recovered from being broken when serving for the match to play a near-flawless tiebreak. Tjen has a big chance to go one better than she did at the U.S. Open, with a winnable second-round match against Karolína Plíšková, the Czech veteran who is only just back after multiple ankle surgeries. Valentová will be up against another Czech, the 20-year-old Linda Fruhvirtová, who is looking for her first third-round appearance at a Slam. Valentová and Tjen are ranked No. 47 and No. 46 in the live rankings; this time a year ago they were playing in lowly events in Portugal and India respectively. There are no guarantees in tennis, but, like Mboko and Boïsson, finding their feet at ITF level and doing a whole lot of winning there seems to have set Valentová and Tjen up for a significant push up the tennis ladder. — Charlie Eccleshare How did a superstar make an entrance? Naomi Osaka knows how to make an entrance. The two-time Australian Open champion is a master of tennis fashion, and Tuesday night in Melbourne, she delivered one of her most head-turning on-court looks yet. She entered the court to face Antonia Ružić of Croatia wearing a white hat with an umbrella and ethereal veil designed by couturier Robert Wun, who has previously worked with pop stars including Beyonce. Advertisement The hat was even adorned with a butterfly, in reference to the 2021 tournament when a butterfly landed on Osaka’s face. But, she told Vogue, it was her daughter Shai’s love of jellyfish that was the root of the look. Once on court, she revealed an aquamarine-inspired dress, with floaty tendrils referencing the creatures. But Osaka could have used some additional tentacles to live with Ružić, who came back from losing the first set to drag Osaka all over the court and take the second, before putting her on the brink by going up 4-3 in the third set. But Osaka has good memories of Melbourne from when she was dominating the sport at the turn of the decade, and she is determined to make some more — and get the opportunity for more walk-ons. She stormed back to win 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. — James Hansen How did the surprise package of the season so far keep rolling? How many people had Sebástian Báez down as one of the main tennis characters of the first few weeks of the season? The understated Argentine, a clay-court specialist who stands at 5-foot-7, has appeared allergic to hard courts for most of his career. But he has already won eight matches on the surface this year, after winning just three in 2025 against 12 losses. The eighth of those victories came Tuesday in Melbourne in dramatic circumstances, as Báez took out Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, more than a foot taller and one of the biggest servers in the game, in five sets. Báez, who was two sets up, then served for the match in the fourth but ultimately had to go the distance. He showed impressive resilience to win out 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, having come to Melbourne straight from reaching the Auckland Open final last week. That Auckland run, where he was beaten in the final by Jakub Menšík, followed heroics at the United Cup. Báez went three for three, beating Jaume Munar, Taylor Fritz and Stan Wawrinka as Argentina reached the quarterfinals. Advertisement The win over Fritz, a former U.S. Open finalist, came after the American had appeared to mock his height following a lob. Báez, encouraged by the Argentinian captain Sebastian Gutierrez, seemed to use the incident as fuel. It thrust Báez, once ranked No. 18 and currently at No. 36, into an unusual position in the tennis spotlight. He has reveled in it ever since. — Charlie Eccleshare Other notable results on Day 3 📈📉: Defending champion Madison Keys (9) emerged from a challenging first set to beat Oleksandra Oliynykova 7-6(6), 6-1 in her opening match. Oliynykova’s performance — and her news conference discussing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — was one of the stories of the day. Jannik Sinner (1) opened his title defense with a curtailed 6-2, 6-1 win over Hugo Gaston after the Frenchman retired due to injury. Taylor Fritz (9) raced away with his match against Valentin Royer after the Frenchman could not keep up physically in the back half of the match. Fritz triumphed 7-6(5), 5-7, 6-1, 6-3. Nikola Bartůňková spoiled Daria Kasatkina‘s party at her first Grand Slam as an Australian citizen. The hugely talented Czech teenager came back from a bagel in the second set to triumph 7-6(7), 0-6, 6-3. Shot of the day Oliynykova had Keys on the ropes in the opening set, especially with impossibly deft lobs like this one: Drop Shots 🇵🇭 Alex Eala may have left the Australian Open, but she has been making tennis history for the Philippines for some time. 🏃‍♂️ Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are running away with the men’s tour. This is how the chasing pack keeps up — mentally. 🤖 The Australian Open’s glitching cartoon tennis stars are back for another year, in an ingenious showcase of how to show more tennis to more people. Up next: Second round begins 🎾 Women’s singles: Coco Gauff (3) vs. Olga Danilović Not before 9 p.m. ET on ESPN Unlimited, ESPN+, ESPN2 Gauff’s campaign continues against the powerful left-hander who got past Venus Williams from 0-4 down in the opening round. Gauff, who was keeping her serve speed low in her first-round match for safety, will have to increase the pace — and risk — against Danilović, but also has the athleticism and shot tolerance to invite her into mistakes. 🎾 Men’s singles: Carlos Alcaraz (1) vs. Yannick Hanfmann Not before 10 p.m. ET on ESPN Unlimited, ESPN+, ESPN2 Anything other than a one-sided win for Alcaraz would be a surprise, but the juice in this matchup is the potential for absolutely electric ball-striking. Hanfmann has a lightning-bolt serve and can lace winners from just about anywhere shortly behind the baseline. Alcaraz’s variety and ability to absorb should be far too much, but expect some “anything you can do, I can do better” painting of the lines. Advertisement 🎾 Women’s singles: Maria Sakkari vs. Mirra Andreeva (8) 3 a.m. ET on ESPN Unlimited, ESPN+, ESPN2 A test of Sakkari’s resurgence after an indifferent 2025 season, and of Andreeva’s improving emotional management on big stages. The Russian, who can control the rhythm of a point like few others, should start as favorite, but Sakkari has the weapons and court craft of her own to cause an upset. 🎾 Women’s singles: Karolina Muchová (19) vs. Alycia Parks 3 a.m. ET (estimated) on ESPN Unlimited, ESPN+ The way Parks withstood the buoyant Filipino crowd — and a first-set bagel — to get past Alex Eala in the first round was remarkable. The American’s reward is another matchup with Karolína Muchová, the Czech with all the talent in the world who is capable of a deep major run at any given time. Parks triumphed when they last met at a Grand Slam, winning in three sets at last year’s French Open.
