Despite expectations, Eva Lys was defeated by Sorana Cirstea in the first round of the 2026 Australian Open. Without wanting to use it as an excuse, the German explained the reason why she couldn't perform at her best on the court: "I've had some knee issues since the United Cup. It's nothing serious, but I think I was at 70%, as reflected in my forehand. It's not an excuse. I feel I still had many opportunities that I didn't take advantage of, with all due respect to Sorana, who was playing amazing. Unfortunately, I hyperextended it in my first match at the United Cup."
