Despite the retirement of Ash Barty and Serena Williams over the past year, the women's field at the Australian Open is stronger than ever. Americans Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff continue to thrive. Ons Jabeur is getting closer and closer to her first Grand Slam title. Aryna Sabalenka and Maria Sakkari have staked their claim in the top 10 and aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
In 2022, Swiatek proved that she is the one to beat on the women's tour. She had a historic 37-match winning streak that started before the French Open and ended in the middle of Wimbledon. She won the French Open for the second time and the US Open for the first time. And she's just 21. The expectations for her in 2023 are huge, but Swiatek, whose traveling team contains a sports psychiatrist, might be uniquely equipped to meet them.
She continues to improve at every tournament and obviously has her sights set on capturing her first Grand Slam title in 2023, but she'll have sharp competition from Swiatek and Jabeur.Still just 18, Gauff took a big step forward in 2022 that brought her to the edge of her first Grand Slam trophy. She still has room for growth in her game, but again, she's just 18. She has a lot of time to make those adjustments, and continues to get better and better with every tournament.
