We reveal the keys to the potential round-by-round matchups that the title favorites may have in the 2026 Australian Open, with Sabalenka and Swiatek as the main references.
Cori Gauff
We reveal everything you need to know about this event prior to the 2026 Australian Open where the world's best players will compete, garnering significant media attention.
Among players of such a high level, it doesn't happen often, but sometimes sports bring us some exceptions. For example, let's talk about the rivalry between Iga Swiatek and Cori Gauff, two women who have been in the global top 3 for a while. Did you know that the Polish player won 11 out of the first 12 matchups? Quite a feat that was hard to understand, although no punishment lasts forever. Something has changed in recent times, to say the least. After what happened this afternoon at the United Cup 2026, the American now has four consecutive victories over the Polish player: three on hard courts and one on clay. Proof that sometimes it only takes a little time to solve the problem.

Coco Gauff enters the prestigious list of tennis players with their own academy, but the American has chosen a very special place. According to journalist Barbara Blake Hannah, the current Roland Garros champion has decided that the public courts of Atlanta, where she first picked up a tennis racket, will become Gauff Futures, a tennis and youth education academy for children who would otherwise never have access to this sport. The 21-year-old does not forget where she comes from.

The United States has not spoken its last word in this United Cup 2026. After Hubert Hurkacz's victory over Taylor Fritz, and considering Iga Swiatek's great form, many people took for granted Poland's passage to the final. However, Coco Gauff has shown her best version so far in 2026 and has clearly dominated the world number two with a 6-4, 6-2 victory, after an hour and 41 minutes. Thus, it will be the mixed doubles that will decide which country will face Switzerland in the grand final.
