From top seeds to a long shot: The Americans still playing at the Australian Open

The 2025 Australian Open has seen a number of American players advance deep into the tournament. Coco Gauff, Tommy Paul, Emma Navarro, Alex Michelsen, Madison Keys, Learner Tien, and Ben Shelton are all still in the draw, with Gauff, Paul, and Navarro among the favorites to win the title. Gauff has been one of the most consistent performers over the past two seasons, winning her first major title at the 2023 US Open. Paul reached the semifinals at the Australian Open in 2023 and is looking to repeat that feat this year. Navarro had a breakthrough season in 2024, reaching the semifinals at the US Open and the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. Michelsen has been one of the most impressive players in the tournament, defeating two ATP top-20 players before the round of 16. Keys is a two-time semifinalist in Melbourne and is looking to reach her 11th major quarterfinal. Tien is one of the best stories of the tournament, qualifying for the fourth round in his Australian Open debut. Shelton is the only seeded player remaining in his quarter of the draw and is looking to replicate his previous best result in Melbourne.
