The order of play at the midday Australian Open was put under the spotlight by the clash between world number one Iga Switik and Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
Swiatek is also a French Open and US Open winner – so the third round match pits the winners of the last three Grand Slams against each other.
Elsewhere, Coco Jove takes on Jelena Ostapenko, while Stefanos Tsitsipas takes on Yannick Sinner in the main event at Rod Laver Arena.
Felix Auger-Aliassime is looking to reach the quarter-finals against talented young Czech Jiri Liska, who beat Cameron Norrey in the previous round.
