Happy 2025 to you all! A year that will be a little less busy in sporting terms than 2024, as we will no longer be hosting the Olympic Games, but which promises to be just as exciting.
Everyone heads to Australia to prepare for the Australian Open.
In the women's competition, the big favourite will be defending champion Aryna Sabalenka. Who will come out on top? Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Jasmine Paolini...?
In the men's competition, the field is fairly open, although Jannik Sinner (defending champion) appears to be on top at the moment.
We'll be keeping a close eye on Novak Djokovic as he seeks his 10th Australian Open and 25th Grand Slam! Will he be ready yet, having not played for over two months? Long 5-set matches are likely to be complicated for him, especially against young players like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
On the French side, there could be some pleasant surprises in store, as our French players often achieve good results under the Australian sun. Gaël Monfils won the Auckland tournament, 20 years after he had already won it, Alexandre Müller won the Hong Kong tournament and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard reached the semi-finals in Brisbane. Go French!
Henri will be doing lives on Instagram and will be reporting on the highlights of the fortnight in his column #lavisdhenriaussie, which can be found on his various social networks (link on the home page).
Enjoy your tournament!
