MELBOURNE, Jan 12 — World number one Iga Swiatek is the woman to beat when the Australian Open begins on Monday without retired great Serena Williams and last year’s champion Ashleigh Barty.
Poland’s Swiatek is clear favourite, having dominated women’s tennis following the retirement in March last year of the Australian Barty. “I’m going to try to kind of cut off everything that happened last year and just focus on the future because I feel like I can take a lot of experience from these tournaments last year,” she said earlier this month.
The 28-year-old played a central role for the victorious USA team at the United Cup to continue her red-hot form from the end of the 2022 season.Ons Jabeur, the world number two, also enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2022, reaching two Grand Slam finals, and her first major cannot be far away.
