2017 Australian Open: Bracket, schedule, and results for women’s draw

Women’s top seed Angelique Kerber was upset in the Round of 16 at the 2017 Australian Open. Since she took the top ranking in the world from Serena Williams, she’s played excellent tennis, but with her out, Serena marched to the finals where she met her sister, Venus Williams.

It was the second time the two had met in the finals of the Australian Open, the first being Venus’ first and only appearance prior to 2017 in said final, back in 2003. Serena took Venus down in straight sets to win the tournament and secure her legacy with 23 Grand Slam singles titles.

That’s the most of any woman in the Open Era, just passing Steffi Graf, who had 22 Grand Slam singles titles.

Williams is getting up there in years but she is still incredibly dominant, and it’s clear that she has plenty left in the tank. The question is can she continue to be dominant throughout Grand Slams or will her recent inconsistencies strike again?

Below is a full bracket, schedule, and daily results throughout the tournament.

Bracket taken from the official Australian Open website.
