The final between Sabalenka and Rybakina in Australia is already historic for this fact
Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, the two most in-form players on the WTA circuit, will face off this Saturday in the final of the 2026 Australian Open. It is a dream matchup, both due to the names involved and the level of tennis displayed by both throughout the tournament. The showdown is already making history even before it begins: both players have reached the grand final without dropping a single set, a feat not seen since Wimbledon 2008 when the Williams sisters faced off under identical circumstances. Back then, Venus emerged victorious with a 7-5, 6-4 scoreline.
