The official ranking of women and men in the main category was based on the most recent ATP and WTA rankings (dated January 9, 2023). At the Australian Open, as in other Grand Slam events, 32 tennis players and 32 tennis players will be marked in this way.
Ladies, everything is according to plan. The higher seed will be Iga Świątek, who is currently the best tennis player in the world. Thus, the 21-year-old will go down in the history of the Australian Open as the first representative of Poland (woman or man) to perform in singles with the number one number.
The Tunisian “two” Anas Jaber and the American Jessica Pegula will play the “three” and the French “four” Caroline Garcia. The last one, at number 32, was Swiss rocket Gilles Teichmann, who is currently the 33rd rocket in the world. This was made possible because Romanian Simon Halep had to resign from playing in Melbourne after being provisionally suspended in a doping case.

Świątek will be the only Polish seed in the women’s singles tournament. Unseeded, Magda Linette is currently ranked 46th in the WTA rankings. Thus, the Poznań player will be able to draw one of the favorites in the first round.
Our only son, Hubert Hurkacz, was seeded in the men’s tournament. Wroclawian is currently ranked eleventh in the ATP rankings, but he will play in Melbourne at number “10”, because the injured Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz withdrew.
Defending champion Rafael Nadal will benefit from his absence. The Spaniard will have the highest rating in the 2023 Australian Open. Norwegian Casper Ruud will perform with “two”, Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas with “three” and Serbian Novak Djokovic with “four”. Nadal and Djokovic could meet as soon as possible in the semi-finals.
The draw for the ladies and gentlemen’s brackets will take place on Thursday (more here). The competition begins at Melbourne Park on Monday 16 January.
