The Australian Open 2026 confirms the withdrawal of a former top-10 player

We are just a few weeks away from the 2026 Australian Open and there is already news of a significant player absence. David Goffin has announced that he needs more time to recover from his physical issues, so he will not be in Melbourne to compete in the first Grand Slam of the year. The Belgian once reached number 7 in the world rankings, and his best Australian Open result was in 2017 when he made it to the quarterfinals.
