The organization of the 2026 Australian Open has set a surprising order of play for Monday, January 26th, featuring the round of 16 matches in the lower part of the men's and women's draw. Novak Djokovic will take to the court to face Jakub Mensik in the final match at the Rod Laver Arena, following the opening night session where Iga Swiatek will play against Maddison Inglis.

Meanwhile, Jannik Sinner is relegated to the Margaret Court Arena, after Elena Rybakina and Elise Mertens compete against each other. In the daytime session on the most important court, Lorenzo Musetti and Taylor Fritz will cross paths, as will Madison Keys, the defending champion, against Jessica Pegula. At the John Cain Arena, two exciting matches are set between Anisimova and Wang, and Shelton and Ruud.

Madison Keys is already in the round of 16 of the 2026 Australian Open. The defending champion convincingly defeated Karolina Pliskova in the third round (6-3, 6-3). However, beyond advancing to the next round, the American achieved another even more noteworthy record. With this victory, Keys became the second active player to reach 125 wins in Grand Slam tournaments. A milestone surpassed only by a tennis legend: Venus Williams, who has 271 victories.

Madison Keys advanced to the third round of the 2026 Australian Open. The defending champion explained in a press conference whether that status makes her experience it in a different way: "I feel like I have always had great support from the crowd here, but I think now it's even more intense, which is always very nice, although I think we are still similar. The emotions are perhaps a bit more intense, but obviously it has always been a place where I have loved to play and have wonderful memories. In tough moments like today, falling in the second set, reminding yourself that you have been here before and you have overcome it is very important. When you manage to do that in a place where you have succeeded, it feels a bit easier."

Madison Keys was able to come through a tough match at the Australian Open 2026 against Pliskova and went to the press conference to assess her performance and thank playing in the first slot to avoid the heat. "I was surprised by the heat when I stepped on the court, but it was manageable playing early. In extreme heat conditions, it is vital to stay well hydrated and, regarding the strings, to increase the tension slightly. I only raised half a kilo today, but if I had to play in hotter hours, I could have increased the tension by three or four kilos," declared a woman who will play in the round of 16 against her friend Jessica Pegula.

Madison Keys was asked at the 2026 Australian Open press conference about her feelings regarding the geopolitical situation in the world and how things are in the United States during Donald Trump's second term. The American player was firm in her response.

"I think my stance has been quite obvious. My stance is pretty clear. I am hopeful that, as a country, we can come together and reclaim the values that, in my opinion, make our country great. I don't like divisions. I believe the beauty of the United States lies in our blend of cultures. We are very diverse. We are a home for immigrants. And I hope we can regain those values," she concluded.

Madison Keys appeared at the 2026 Australian Open press conference proud of the work done in her debut against Olynynkova and acknowledging how difficult it is to have good feelings throughout the year on the circuit. "It had been a long time since I played against someone with her style, and I struggled at the beginning, being too passive in my shots. Then I was able to improve; I think it's been essential to play without discomfort, feeling physically good. It's something that hadn't happened in a long time because the season is very long," declared the reigning champion.

What a piece of board we have left at the WTA 500 in Adelaide despite being located just one week before the first Grand Slam of the year. We will see Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys, Mirra Andreeva, and Ekaterina Alexandrova there, with special attention to Keys who is defending the throne. Our Paula Badosa is also on the board, awaiting an opponent from the qualifying rounds before a possible duel with Pegula in the second round. An open and trap-filled path, so it's better not to do calculations and enjoy the show.

Madison Keys ended her experience in her first tournament of the year with a clear defeat against the world number one, Aryna Sabalenka, by 6-3, 6-3. Now, she will head to Adelaide where she defends the title, just as she will do in two weeks at the Open de Australia. The American still can't believe the incredible feat she achieved last year: "I think, at this moment in my career, if they had told me last year that this was going to happen now, I don't know if I would have believed it, but I hope there are many more first times to come," she said in the press conference following her defeat.

A whole year has passed, but it is impossible to forget everything experienced by Madison Keys last January. The American lost in the quarterfinals of Auckland to then conquer Adelaide and the Australian Open. And how has her 2026 calendar started? Losing in the quarterfinals of Brisbane. The question was inevitable in the press conference, even though Maddie did not arrive with the best sensations on the court.

“My life hasn't changed that much since then, but it's definitely still an achievement I am very proud of. At this point in my career, if you had told me last year that all this was going to happen to me, I wouldn't have believed you. I hope there are many more firsts to come, that's the beauty of tennis, thinking that it's never too late. Only then can some craziness happen...” commented the World No.7.
