The Australian Open officially released the seedings for both draws earlier today. There were no surprises as Rafael Nadal and Iga Swiatek are the two top seeds.

Defending champion Nadal took the top spot when his countryman Carlos Alcaraz withdrew last week with a leg injury. It’s the first time Nadal’s been the No. 1 seed at a Slam since the 2020 Australian Open three years ago. His last Slam title as a top seed was the 2018 French Open.

Swiatek will be seeded No. 1 for the first time at the Australian Open and the for the fourth straight Grand Slam event.


The draws will be made later tonight.

One Comment for Australian Open Seeds: Nadal, Swiatek On Top

Dave Says:

Nadal has such a hard draw. Djokovic has a really hard QF. Rune or Kyrgios potentially. Nadal has Draper 1st round. Tiafoe 4th Round. Medvedev or Shapo QF. Felix or Tsitsipas SF. Rublev vs Thiem 1st Round. Murray vs Berrettini 1st round.
