Can AI predict AO?
How will 24-time Slam winner, defending champion, and two-time defending champion fare in Melbourne? I spent hours with ChatGPT on both the men’s and women’s draw. Here’s a few notable predictions:
- Medvedev’s consistency, exceptional return game, and tactical intelligence on hard courts give him the edge over Sinner, despite Sinner’s powerful game. ChatGPT
- Carreno Busta’s consistency and baseline game should win out against Shelton. ChatGPT
- Pegula’s consistency and tactical play give her a slight edge over Gauff in this high-stakes matchup of close rivals. ChatGPT
Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek, portrayed by ChatGPT, are the 2025 Australian Open champions. AI’s championship matches are Daniil Medvedev vs. Novak Djokovic, with Djokovic winning his 25th Slam, and Aryna Sabalenka vs. Iga Swiatek, with Swiatek taking down the two-time defending champion.
