Aryna Sabalenka's victory over Svitolina in the semifinals of the 2026 Australian Open has broken numerous historical records. With the final she will play this Saturday, Sabalenka will reach 7 consecutive Grand Slam finals on hard court, a streak that began at the 2023 Australian Open and continues three years later. Since then, the number one player has won two titles in Melbourne (2023, 2024) and two US Opens (2024, 2025). A feat achieved by very few. Only Steffi Graf—between the US Open 1987 and the US Open 1990— and Martina Hingis, between the 1997 Australian Open and 2000, had accomplished this.
