Madison Keys (won Adelaide 2), Paula Badosa (won Sydney), Amanda Anisimova (won Melbourne 2), Simona Halep (won Melbourne 1) and Ashleigh Barty (won Adelaide 1) have all managed to carry their form into the opening major of the season, and enter the second week at Melbourne Park riding a winning streak.
