The Australian Open women's tournament has thrown up plenty of surprises over the years but it is hard to see anyone other than Poland's imperious Iga Swiatek lifting the trophy after an outstanding 2022 season.
Swiatek ascended to the top of the rankings in April and has remained at the summit ever since, and showed in September that she can also succeed on hard courts when she added a first U.S. Open title to her two French Open crowns. Her preparations for the season's opening major were further disrupted by a shoulder injury that forced her out of this week's Adelaide International 2 event."I felt kind of helpless, because physically and mentally I wasn't able to show up even, and problem solve," she said.Swiatek's hopes of winning her first title at Melbourne Park will be boosted by the absence of holder Ash Barty, who has retired.
