World number one Iga Swiatek leads the field in an Australian Open women’s draw shorn of some of its biggest recent stars. Ashleigh Barty, who lifted the trophy 12 months ago, and Serena Williams have retired, while the 2019 and 2021 winner Naomi Osaka has pulled out.
Iga Swiatek– The 21-year-old seized her opportunity after the retirement of Barty to dominate 2022, securing eight WTA titles and becoming the first woman in six years to win two Grand Slams in the same season — at Roland Garros and New York.
After losing the Australian Open semi-final to Danielle Collins, Poland’s Swiatek did not look back. This AO will be great for online betting.
