The American convincingly defeated the Russian and awaits Zverev in the Australian quarterfinals: "I was playing very well from the start and managed to maintain that momentum throughout the entire match."
Alex de Miñaur wants to cause a surprise in this 2026 Australian Open. The Australian is already in the quarterfinals after sweeping Alexander Bublik 6-4, 6-1, 6-1. The 26-year-old tennis player gets serious when a Grand Slam arrives, to the point that in terms of consistency, he is one of the best in the world. With this result, he now has six quarterfinal appearances in the last eight Grand Slams, a number surpassed only by Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Novak Djokovic, who have seven participations each.

We need to start talking about Elina Svitolina. Without making much noise and without initially being on the favorites list, she is carrying out a very serious and complete Australian Open 2026. Her latest victim was Mirra Andreeva, who was also in good form but was given no chance, as Svitolina secured victory with a 6-2, 6-4 scoreline after an hour and 24 minutes of play. Thus, Svitolina advances to the quarterfinals of the first Grand Slam of the year and will face Coco Gauff for a spot in the semifinals.

Elina Svitolina continues to excel in this 2026 Australian Open after a clear victory over Mirra Andreeva (6-2, 6-4) to advance to the quarterfinals of the first Grand Slam of the season. Waiting for her there is Coco Gauff, but next Tuesday, she will not only face her opponent but also the extreme heat. "We both know each other's game, and I believe that tomorrow, it's important for me to work on some things, talk to my coach, and be prepared for the extreme heat. So, I think I won't just be playing against her, but also against the conditions," states the 12th-ranked WTA player.

The Australian will face the Spaniard in the Australian quarterfinals after defeating Bublik: "He has improved a lot in maintaining concentration and that makes him even more dangerous".
Alexander Bublik was completely outplayed by Alex de Miñaur who dominated the match from start to finish (6-4, 6-1, 6-1), bidding farewell to an Open de Australia 2026 where he had high hopes of causing an upset. However, his adventure came to an end because of the Australian, who is showcasing great tennis. In fact, Bublik sees in De Miñaur a player who is close to achieving a Grand Slam. This was affirmed during the press conference following his defeat.
"I suppose the next step is to be close to winning a Grand Slam, so we will have to see how the results go in this Open de Australia and in the rest of the Grand Slams. But yes, I think he played a great match today. The conditions were not very favorable for me. He played a great match. He deserved to win. Undoubtedly, he was the better player today, so I will take as much as possible from this match to grow and come back stronger."

The decision of the Australian Open to stop the match between Jannik Sinner and Elliott Spizzirri due to the heat protocol is still being discussed. At the time, Spizzirri was leading 3-1 in the third set, and Sinner was struggling with cramps. John McEnroe, known for speaking his mind, believes there was a certain "favoritism" towards Sinner in making that decision. During ESPN's live broadcast of the match, he stated, "I don't think anyone wants to see this in our sport. It seems like there is favoritism. I would like to think that if it had happened to Spizzirri, they would have also stopped the match. I don't know if they would have done it."

Victoria Mboko wants to be the surprise of the 2026 Australian Open. The Canadian is competing in her first major in Melbourne and has already reached the round of 16 after defeating Clara Tauson 7-6(5), 5-7, 6-3. However, her aspirations of being the revelation of the first major of the season may be thwarted because her next opponent is none other than the world number one: Aryna Sabalenka.
But the Canadian is looking forward to the moment of facing the Belarusian for the first time: "I think it's great. I have never played against her and it's going to be a very different experience. I guess we will also play on Rod Laver. I have never played on the center court of a Grand Slam either. There are many firsts. I am very excited. It's something that not many people have the opportunity to experience, and doing it on Sunday is, in my opinion, really great. I am going to show what I'm worth."

Learner Tien and Daniil Medvedev will face each other for the fourth time in the round of 16 of the 2026 Australian Open. Their first encounter was at this same stage a year ago, with victory for the American. From that first match to their most recent, their duels have been marked by equality. Tien leads the head-to-head 2-1, but in all of them, the Russian has had match points. Therefore, an exciting match is expected, as predicted by the 20-year-old.
"We have played three times, and they have all been real battles. I think he has served to win the match all three times. Both of us win many points. Neither of us gives away many points, naturally making rallies and games very long. Neither of us makes it easy for our opponents. So, we don't make it easy for each other either. Both of us have to put in a lot of effort to win points and games, and the matches tend to be quite long."
