Belinda Bencic made her debut at this 2026 Australian Open with a great victory over Katie Boulter. These were the words of the Swiss tennis player in Melbourne: "Sometimes I think you're really eager to play. I was ready to play from the beginning of this tournament, but I also believe it was better for me to have a little more time to relax a bit and then get back into gear. Sometimes it's complicated. You play the first match on Sunday, you lose, and you end up as the first loser of the tournament, which is a horrible feeling. It's a fear everyone has when they play their first match on Sunday."

Despite expectations, Eva Lys was defeated by Sorana Cirstea in the first round of the 2026 Australian Open. Without wanting to use it as an excuse, the German explained the reason why she couldn't perform at her best on the court: "I've had some knee issues since the United Cup. It's nothing serious, but I think I was at 70%, as reflected in my forehand. It's not an excuse. I feel I still had many opportunities that I didn't take advantage of, with all due respect to Sorana, who was playing amazing. Unfortunately, I hyperextended it in my first match at the United Cup."

Madison Keys appeared at the 2026 Australian Open press conference proud of the work done in her debut against Olynynkova and acknowledging how difficult it is to have good feelings throughout the year on the circuit. "It had been a long time since I played against someone with her style, and I struggled at the beginning, being too passive in my shots. Then I was able to improve; I think it's been essential to play without discomfort, feeling physically good. It's something that hadn't happened in a long time because the season is very long," declared the reigning champion.
