The presence of Oliynykova at the Australian Open 2026 once again brought the focus to Ukraine and the war with Russia, something they asked Aryna Sabalenka about during the press conference: "I have already talked a lot about that, obviously. I want peace, and if I could change something, I would definitely do it. Besides that, I have nothing more to say. I'm here for tennis. It's a tennis tournament. I've said enough and I don't want to talk about politics. Thank you."

Impressive to say the least was Naomi Osaka's track debut at the 2026 Australian Open with a unique outfit that left no one indifferent. Aryna Sabalenka shared her perspective on that outfit: "The beauty of fashion is that you can express yourself in any way. It's a very free world, no judgments. There are just those who see fashion one way and others another, that's why it's so beautiful that you can feel free and show yourself, display your personality. I think it fit perfectly with her personality, her culture, and many things. It was great."

Elina Svitolina achieved a new victory at the Australian Open 2026, a triumph that raised some doubts in the Ukrainian player: "If I pushed myself to the limits to finish the year, if I really forced myself, I don't think I would even start the season playing in Australia, because I would be mentally exhausted. Physically, I'm not even sure it would be a good option, as I could get injured in this mental state. When you demand from yourself and play at the highest level with my style, you are really pushing the limits. For me, it was important to take a step back. I was saddened not to give myself the opportunity to reach the final or perhaps return to the top 10, but it was the right decision. Now I feel more rejuvenated. I am ready to face difficult situations in matches."

As much as Naomi Osaka's special outfit at the 2026 Australian Open was discussed, it was equally noteworthy that the brand didn't invest as much in Aryna Sabalenka, the world number one. The Belarusian addressed this in a press conference: "I wish Nike would let me do these kinds of things, but not this year. We're working on it, but I don't know, I think it would be more of an elegant entrance. Perhaps, I don't know, a long coat or... I'm fantasizing, trying to figure it out, but it's not enough yet, but I'm sure I'll come up with something great next year."

Zeynep Sonmez is living a great dream in this Australian Open 2026. The Turkish tennis player started from the qualifying rounds and has already advanced to the third round of the Grand Slam held in Melbourne: "I know I feel and play better when I enjoy on the court. My focus is more on that. I don't concentrate so much on the results. Of course, I want to win, to be honest, my biggest dream is to win a Grand Slam, but I don't focus so much on that. I focus on enjoying on the court, enjoying playing matches, enjoying participating in the Grand Slams."

Naomi Osaka had to work hard to start with a victory in this Australian Open 2026, as she went to three sets against Antonia Ruzic (6-3, 3-6, 6-4). However, the Japanese player was already in the news before the match due to the outfit she wore to Rod Laver, hat included. An outfit of that style had never been seen before, and after her victory, she wanted to explain it: "This outfit is now iconic. Nike allowed me to design it. It is inspired by a jellyfish. I am very grateful to be able to do what I love. It's really beautiful. There is a butterfly on the hat. There is also a butterfly on the umbrella. It is related to the Australian Open that I won in 2021, which I guess was a long time ago," confessed the Japanese player, who always leaves no one indifferent.

Katie Boulter was defeated in her debut at the 2026 Australian Open against a strong Belinda Bencic. The British player spoke at a press conference about her feelings, all with the aim of rediscovering her identity: "It takes up a lot of time for me, which is something unique compared to many other tennis players. It took me a while to understand that. I felt like I was putting a lot of pressure on myself in the second set. I definitely had my chances; I don't think it was the cleanest match from my racquet."
