25 for 2025: unmissable sporting events over the next 12 months

This year features two Ashes series, a Lions tour to Australia and the 2025 Euros

Novak Djokovic will be aiming to begin the new year by doing something he failed to do throughout 2024 – win a grand slam title. It is a somewhat remarkable drought for an athlete of Djokovic's standards which in part explains why he has asked Andy Murray to coach him in Melbourne. The partnership should make for a fascinating dynamic, on and off court, but may well not prove strong enough to see the Serb secure a record-breaking 25th slam given the form of reigning champion and world No 1, Jannik Sinner. In the women's draw, Aryna Sabalenka will be seeking to win the title for a third time in a row.
