Pegula eliminates the champion and sets up a match with Anisimova

Madison Keys will not defend her title at the Australian Open 2026. She tried, but this early morning she fell in the round of 16 against her good friend Jessica Pegula (6-3, 6-4). Great performance by the Buffalo player here in Melbourne, where she reaches the quarterfinals for the fourth time in her career.

Now, she will have to face one of the fittest women on the circuit, Amanda Anisimova, who today defeated the Chinese Wang (7-6, 6-4) and is still yet to drop a set in the tournament. Regardless of the outcome, the American tennis party continues at this first Grand Slam of the season.
