How does the Australian Open draw work?
The four Grand Slams – Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open – all have 128-player singles draws.
There will be 32 seeds in each draw and they will be drawn so none of them can face each other until at least the third round.
The top eight seeds will not be able to meet until the quarter-finals, the top four until the semi-finals, and the top two seeds can only meet in the final.
As with all four majors, the seedings are determined by rankings.
What are the Australian Open seeds?
Swiatek leads the women’s draw ahead of Jabeur, Pegula and Caroline Garcia.
