After their lucrative exhibition clash in South Korea, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are finally on their way to Australia, just a week removed from the first Major of the year. Once again, the two rivals will arrive as the top two seeds, both eyeing history at the Australian Open.
For Jannik Sinner, the tournament represents a chance to three-peat a Major title and enter rare air among the sport’s elite. For Carlos Alcaraz, the stakes are just as monumental: the Spaniard will be aiming to become the youngest men’s player in the Open Era to complete the Career Grand Slam, an achievement that would crown an already Hall of Fame-worthy career.
With so much on the line, it is important that both players feel confident in their level, encouraged by the improvements made during the off-season, and just as importantly, comfortable in how they present themselves on court. And for that, nothing matters quite as much as their kits from Nike Tennis for the first Major of the year.
Jannik Sinner’s Australian Open Kit
As has been the case in recent Slams, both Alcaraz and Sinner will wear kits in colourways exclusive to themselves, without the presence of any official logo, as those arrangements are still being finalized.
Jannik Sinner has previously admitted that while he gives input on his kits, he prefers clean, monochromatic designs — a trend that will continue in Melbourne. The Italian will wear a bright yellow kit for day sessions and an olive green kit for night sessions.

Carlos Alcaraz’s Australian Open Kit
On the other hand, Carlos Alcaraz will once again go sleeveless at the Australian Open. For his day matches, the Spaniard will wear a plain green shirt. For night sessions, he will switch to a bolder combination featuring a green, black, and white colour trifecta.

In an era where marketing and fashion are deeply intertwined with sport, it is fascinating to see how leading sportswear brands design unique, standout, and highly personal kits for their biggest stars. And given just how good Alcaraz and Sinner already are, there is every chance these kits could go down in history as the outfits worn by that year’s Australian Open champions.
