It may not be an all-time statistic, but it is interesting to see the name of Alexandra Eala in this type of data, helping us understand the impact this woman can have in the women's circuit. Already in the top 50 and after reaching the round of 16 at the WTA 1000 in Dubai, the Filipina has become the youngest Asian player ever to reach ten victories in these tournaments, surpassing by just a few days the record set by Naomi Osaka a few years ago. At only 20 years old, this number may not make headlines worldwide, but we should pay attention because this girl has the potential to become an absolute reference, not only in her country but throughout her continent.

The first WTA 1000 of the season is just around the corner, starting in Doha this coming Sunday, February 8. What no one expected is the massive absence of important players, as has been recently announced. Madison Keys, Jessica Pegula, Naomi Osaka, Iva Jovic, and Marta Kostyuk have announced that they will not participate in the event, trying to conserve energy for the following week when another WTA 1000 will be held, this time in Dubai.

Jelena Djokovic spoke out clearly and decisively about the tense situation that occurred at the 2026 Australian Open between Naomi Osaka and Sorana Cirstea: "I am surprised that it is not considered a hindrance. Between serves, when the audience applauds or shouts, the chair umpire requests no shouting between serves, as it bothers the player. The point is not over. Sorana missed her first serve and is focused on getting the second one right, there is a small pause. It is also disrespectful to applaud someone's first serve mistake. I am surprised that the chair umpire/Naomi thought it was fair! Were there any rule changes that I missed?"

After withdrawing from the WTA 1000 in Doha due to physical issues, Naomi Osaka and Madison Keys will also not play in the WTA 1000 in Dubai next week. The good news for the Japanese and American tennis players is that neither of them participated in these two tournaments last year, so they will not lose ranking points. It remains to be seen if they can make it in time for the American tour, where both achieved good results in 2025.

Naomi Osaka seemed to have a great opportunity to achieve something important in this 2026 Australian Open, but the Japanese player had to withdraw from the tournament before her third-round match against Maddison Inglis. Physical issues and the caution of not worsening them led her to make this difficult decision, granting Australian player access to the next round, coming from the qualifying rounds. She will face Swiatek or Kalinskaya.

Naomi Osaka has wanted to put an end to the controversy that started at the end of her victory against Sorana Cirstea in the second round of the Australian Open 2026. On social media, the Romanian accused her of shouting very loudly when she won a point, and the Japanese, in the post-match interview on the court, commented "apparently, there were many insinuations that upset her. It doesn't matter. She is a great player. I think this was her last Australian Open. I'm sorry she got upset about it."

In tough statements that Osaka later regretted in the subsequent press conference, she apologized: "I want to apologize, I think the first things I said on the court were disrespectful. I don't like to disrespect people. It's not my style. If she wants to talk about it, go ahead. When I am encouraging myself, in my mind, I'm not thinking, 'Okay, now I'm going to distract the other person.' It's purely personal. I could have done much better in my initial on-court statements," the Japanese lamented.

Sorana Cirstea criticized Naomi Osaka for her behavior during their match at the Australian Open 2026. She complained to the chair umpire mid-match, and in the end, after a frosty farewell, the Romanian didn't hesitate to chastise the Japanese player for constantly shouting encouragement, pushing her patience to the limit, especially between first and second serves.

Sorana Cirstea has said goodbye to the Australian Open forever, not only with a defeat but also with tremendous anger towards her conqueror, Naomi Osaka. The Japanese player was very tense throughout the match and in the third set, she let out many loud "Come ons." This seemed to upset the Romanian, who reproached her at the end of the match after a frosty greeting. When asked about it in the post-match interview, Osaka explained the issue.
