The Belarusian has achieved an impressive victory over Svitolina in the semi-finals of the Australian Open 2026, showcasing an unplayable tennis.
Aryna Sabalenka
Incredible but true. The four players who have reached the semifinals of the Australian Open 2026 have done so without dropping a single set throughout the tournament. Aryna Sabalenka, Elina Svitolina, Elena Rybakina, and Jessica Pegula enter the penultimate round having demonstrated great superiority over the rest of their opponents, a feat that has only been seen on five occasions in the Open Era, although three of them had certain conditions.
In the 1970 Australian Open, there was a small draw, and they only had to play three matches to reach the semifinals, while in the 1976 and 1980 US Opens, some of them received a bye in the first round. Only in Roland Garros 1995 did all four semifinalists win five matches without dropping a set. They were Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario, Kimiko Date, Conchita Martínez, and Steffi Graf, with the German winning the title that year.

Aryna Sabalenka has no qualms about making all kinds of jokes and showing herself brimming with humor and charisma. That's what she did when, after defeating Jovic, she was asked what she would give to Carlos Alcaraz and what she would receive from him. Her nervous laughter hinted at some interesting response, but everyone was taken aback when she turned to her boyfriend and said, "Can you leave, please?"

Aryna Sabalenka is known worldwide for the volume and frequency of her on-court grunts, but that took on special significance in the early stages of her match against Elina Svitolina in the semifinals of the Australian Open 2026. The Belarusian extended a grunt longer than usual after hitting the ball, and the chair umpire stopped the point and awarded it to the Ukrainian, considering Sabalenka's grunt unjustifiably prolonged and potentially disturbing to her opponent.
"This is a strong call by the umpire!" 😳

The young American fought in the press conference to hide her sadness for her elimination in Australia and compensate for it with her great performance in the tournament.
The Belarusian tennis player, just steps away from winning her third Australian Open, opted for caution before finding out which rival she will face in the semifinals.
She did it with Victoria Mboko and has done it again with Iva Jovic. Two 18-year-old players, two great talents, two women who are already within the top 30 in the world, but who are still far from giving a scare to Aryna Sabalenka in a Grand Slam tournament. At least, for now. A very clear victory for the Belarusian (6-3, 6-0) to start the day in this Australian Open 2026 and once again reach the semifinals of the individual draw. Going for her third title in Melbourne, the world No. 1 is already awaiting the winner of the match that will take place in a few hours between Gauff and Svitolina.
