The main draw was unveiled on Sunday. Here’s a quarter-by-quarter breakdown of some key placements:
First quarter Swiatek could meet a former Grand Slam champion as early as the second round, where she will face the winner of the match between 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu and a qualifier. Swiatek is 2-0 against Raducanu, most recently winning in the Round of 16 at Indian Wells this year.
