Nishesh Basavareddy is in the battle of his life as he takes on former world’s No.1 and arguably the G.O.A.T of tennis, Novak Djokovic, in the first round of the 2025 Australian Open. Basavareddy is fresh off a terrific run at the ASB Classic Auckland, where he went all the way to the semifinal before falling to the eventual champion Gael Monfils of France 7-6(5) 6-4. Basavareddy is one of several up-and-coming tennis players competing at the Australian Open that are expected to make some noise throughout the 2025 ATP season. Djokovic, meanwhile, aims to win his 11th Australian Open after falling short last year against Jannik Sinner in the semifinal. With 24 Grand Slams under his belt, Djokovic remains hungry to set new record and further cement his status as the best player the sports has ever seen.
