Defending Australian Open champions, Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner have returned to Melbourne Park this week on a quest to defend their Grand Slam titles. Both are hot favourites to once again clinch their titles, with world No 1, Sabalenka, riding an excellent vein of form coming into the next fortnight, having won at the Brisbane International last week.

Prior to that, Sabalenka had also won at the Wuhan Open in October and clinched her first US Open title in September. Sinner, 23, meanwhile, claimed victory at the ATP Nitto Finals in November and also experienced glory at the US Open, winning the men's singles title.

Interestingly, Sabalenka and Sinner have both picked up 18 titles on their respective tours, with both having surpassed over $60million in career earnings. And they can point to their endeavours in the Grand Slams to much of that wealth, with the pair both pocketing $3.5m at last year's Australian Open.

Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner both appeared at Melbourne Park sporting two very glamourous timepieces. The players had arrived for the main draw but while there was much focus on who would be playing who, some eagle eyed members of the audience noted their glinting timepieces.

Both of the luxury watches come to an approximate combined price of $303,857. But it looks like they have both been splashing the cash, with the pair having each appeared to have purchased their very own luxury watch. Sabalenka and Sinner both appeared at the Australian Open main draw on Thursday to speak to journalists and some fans about the upcoming tournament.
