Aryna Sabalenka will be aiming to defend her title at Melbourne Park but who from a wide open field will mount a challenge?
No 1 Iga SwiatekPoland’s sensation has dominated for two years and shows no signs of waning in Melbourne. Swiatek is in exceptional form, quietly building a 16-match winning streak, having not lost a singles match since September. What sets her apart is not only the wins but the manner she achieves them. In that time, she lost only two out of 34 sets and posted 13 set scores of either 6-1 or 6-0.
