The 2012 Australian Open champions and world no.1 in their categories will be the top seeds of the 2013 edition (nothing wrong with that… ins’t it?)
Men
In the men’s draw all top players are there with the exception of Rafael Nadal. It is nice to see that the (hopefully) rising start Jerzy Janowicz was seeded no.25 (last year he couldn’t play as he didn’t have the money to afford the trip to Australia!)
Women
Regarding the women’s draw we are happy to see that all top 32 players will play and are duly seeded.
Here the list of the seeds
