The field is led by No. 1-ranked Iga Swiatek. She owns three Grand Slam titles and will be favored to win her first in Australia. Ons Jabeur is ranked No. 2 after reaching two major finals in 2022. Two American women are ranked in the top five. They are Jessica Pegula and French Open runner-up Coco Gauff. Each of them already has won a trophy this season.
