Australian Open begins on Sunday with two-man race between Alcaraz and Sinner and Sabalenka emerges as favourite on the women’s side

Carlos Alcaraz will aim to conquer the Australian Open, the only Grand Slam title he has yet to win, without his longtime coach Juan Carlos Ferrero. Ferrero has been by Alcaraz's side since the player was 15, guiding him to all six of his major championships. Alcaraz holds a 10-6 advantage over his Italian opponent in their head-to-head matches.
