Iga Swiatek is the “bench” at the Australian Open

Iga Swiatek starts as a great favorite for the title, but he will have a really complex path to glory, having to cross paths with very high-level tennis players if the forecasts come true in the Australian Open 2023. The number 1 will begin her journey against the German Jule Niemeier; while the main threat from her, Tunisian Ons Jabeur will take her first steps against Slovakian Tamara Zidansek.

Coco Gauff opens against the Czech Katerina Siniakova and could see the faces in second with the British Emma Raducanu. Her compatriot Jessica Pegula arrives in silence and with everything to win: Jaqueline Cristian is her first rival. Furthermore, Yue Yuan vs. Maria Sakkari, Caroline García will have a classified in the debut, Tereza Martincova vs. Aryna Sabalenka and Daria Kasatkina will not have it easy with Varvara Gracheva.

The Spanish Paula Badosa will face the American Catherine McNally in the first round; while her compatriot Garbiñe Muguruza will start her adventure against the Belgian favorite Elise Mertens.

Among the Latin Americans, Maria Camila Osorio stands out that goes with Panna Udvardy (whoever wins would collide with the number one in the world), Beatriz Haddad Maia faces Nuria Parrizas Díaz and Nadia Podoroska vs. Alja Tomljanovic.

Possible quarterfinal matchups:

Iga Swiatek vs. Coco Gauff
Jessica Pegula vs. Maria Sakkari
Daria Kasatkina vs. Caroline Garcia
Aryna Sabalenka vs. Ons Jabeur
