2022 Australian Open Predictions - Women's

The 1st Grand Slam of the season is starting on Monday, so I'm here with a preview and predictions for how the Women's bracket will turn out. After the jump I present a table with percentages for all 128 players and how they will do.

But before the full table, some highlights I want to pick out.
  • Ashleigh Barty is the most likely to win the tournament, with a 25% chance of winning the whole thing, with Simona Halep next at 7.8%. The 3rd most likely is Garbine Muguruza with 7.38% and Anett Kontaveit is 4th with 7.23%
  • For the 2nd year in a row, Simona Halep has the easiest overall draw, as she is 2.87 percentage points more likely to win the tournament than expected at the expense of Naomi Osaka, who is 2.45 percentage points less likely to win the tournament than expected
  • The toughest 1st round draw went to Katerina Siniakova, as she's 41.53 percentage points less likely to win than a player of her rank is expected to win. Heather Watson got the easiest 1st round draw, as she's 32.49 percentage points more likely to make it to round 2 than her ranking would expect.
