About 2023 Australian Open
There will be stiff competition on both the men’s and women’s sides of the 2023 Australian Open. No. 1 Iga Swiatek is considered the best women’s player of the year by far, not only winning second and third Majors at French Open and U.S. Open but also going on a 37-match winning streak, the longest WTA winning streak in 25 years. No. 2 Ons Jabeur, arguably the second-best women’s player of the year, especially in terms of Majors, where she was the only woman other than Swiatek to reach multiple Major finals.
On the men’s side, 36-year-old No.1 Rafael Nadal makes his 18th appearance at the AO and arrives in Melbourne as the defending champion looking to win a record-extending 23rd Grand Slam title. No. 2 Casper Ruud, still only 24, still under the radar, quietly finished 2022 with two Major finals and an ATP Finals runner-up. No. 4 Novak Djokovic is back, after being denied entry to the tournament (and the country) in 2022 thanks to his refusal to abide by Australia’s strict laws concerning COVID vaccination.
