Rafael Nadal, Marat Safin and John McEnroe are among the members of the ATP No. 1 Club in attendance on the Rod Laver Arena on Sunday to watch the historic Australian Open final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.
Safin, a champion in Melbourne in 2005, presented the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup ahead of the men's singles final before he took his seat. Jim Courier, McEnroe and Mats Wilander have all been on commentary duty during the major and were in attendance for Sunday's championship showdown.
Nadal is attending the hard-court Slam for the first time since he retired in 2024. The Spaniard won the title in Melbourne in 2009 and 2022, tallying a 77-16 record at the tournament across his career, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index.
On the eve of the tournament last month, No. 1 Club members Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, Lleyton Hewitt and Patrick Rafter were at Melbourne Park, taking part in a fun doubles exhibition on opening ceremony night.
On court on Sunday, two of the active ATP No. 1 Club members, Alcaraz and Djokovic, have put on a show through the opening three sets.
