2024 Australian Open Women's Draw With Sabalenka, Swiatek, Gauff, Osaka & More

| by Erik Virostko

The women's draw for the 2024 Australian Open was released, and all of the main favourites got to know their opponents.

Starting on January 14th, 2024, with the women's event concluding on January 27th, 2024, the first Grand Slam of the new season is here, and with the draw, we already know everything we need to know ahead of the season's first major.

Last year, Aryna Sabalenka won the title after she bested Elena Rybakina in the final, and both are back in 2024, but neither of the two is the top seed at the tournament, as that spot belongs to Iga Swiatek.

Despite not having that much success in the Melbourne Park in the past, the Pole will be still one of the top favourites, simply because she's currently one of the most feared players on the WTA Tour.

As the top seed, Swiatek will start against Sofia Kenin in the first round of the tournament, while on the opposite side of the draw, second-seeded Sabalenka will prepare for her match against a qualifier.

While the top two seeds are always considered to be the two main favourites, last year's finalist Rybakina would certainly like to insert her name into the conversation, and she did just that recently in Brisbane.

She allowed Sabalenka to win only three games in their final match, and rightfully, the third seed will be one of the favourites, but first, Rybakina will need to overcome former world no. 1, Karolina Pliskova in the first round of the tournament.

Coco Gauff also started her season well when she defended her title in Auckland, but despite the triumph, she dropped to the fourth spot in the WTA Rankings, meaning she enters the Australian Open as the fourth seed.

The teenage prodigy will be once again in the spotlight, especially after her 2023 US Open triumph, and in the first round of the tournament, the fourth seed will take on Anna Karolina Schmiedlova.

Naomi Osaka is another name in the draw that many fans will keep their eye on. The two-time champion returns to Melbourne, and she's more motivated than ever. As an unseeded player, the former world no. 1 could draw anyone, and she drew the 16th-seeded Caroline Garcia in the first round of the tournament.

The women's draw for the 2024 Australian Open features many exciting matchups and pathways to the title for the likes of Jessica Pegula, Ons Jabeur, and Maria Sakkari, so be sure to check out the full draw for the tournament below.
