On January 22, Beijing time, the Australian Open ended the women's singles two 1/4 matches, the American star and former US Open runner-up Keys defeated the Ukrainian star Svitolina with a score of 2-1, and Swiatek easily defeated the American Navarro 2-0.

With the release of the Australian Open semi-finals, the latest world rankings have also changed. Even though Swiatek surpassed Sabalenka to become No. 1 in the rankings with her semi-final finish at the Australian Open, Sabalenka is under pressure to keep her points due to Sabalenka's title last year, and she will have to defend her title at the Australian Open if she wants to remain the world No. 1. The world's third and fourth are still Gauff and Paulini, and Zheng Qinwen, the world fifth before the game, was deducted from last year's runner-up due to the second round of the Australian Open, and was surpassed by Rybakina and Pegula one after another, falling to seventh place, while Bardosa and Keys behind her have successfully advanced to the semifinals, and if they enter the final or win the championship, they will have hope to surpass Zheng Qinwen.

In the semifinals of the Australian Open, Sabalenka vs. Badosa, the two have a 5:2 record and Saba leads, while Swiatek and Keys have a record of four wins and one loss, so the world's top two players are very likely to participate in the final, and the two will directly stage a battle for world No. 1 in the final, and whoever wins will win the world No. 1 award.
