Coco Gauff passed with flying colors in her debut at the Australian Open 2026. The American player spoke at a press conference about the complaints from tennis players at the major tournaments: "I know the players will exert more pressure on the Grand Slams if certain things are not met as we expect. It will have to be a collective decision that we all need to discuss, and we have already talked until we agreed on what we have pushed for so far."

Emma Raducanu started with a victory in this 2026 Australian Open after defeating the Thai player Mananchaya Sawangkaew by 6-4, 6-1. Following this debut, the British player reiterated her refusal to play at night and in the late slots of the day: "I am a night owl, but I prefer to do other things than play a tennis match. I have been trying to train to be better at night. Like last night, I practiced until late, and it's good to feel the day. For me, half of the battle, honestly, is how to organize the day, when to activate and when to disconnect. I have gone through several tests to see what works and what doesn't. Today I felt very good before the match. It helped that the previous match didn't last long. I didn't go to bed very late," stated the 29th-ranked WTA player, who will face Anastasia Potapova in the second round.

Anastasia Potapova staged a comeback from 3-6, 1-5 in the first round of the Australian Open against Suzan Lamens, and after such an achievement, she went on to explain the controversial post she made when announcing her change of nationality from Russian to Austrian. When she made it official in early December, the news itself was that her statement was the same as the one used by Daria Kasatkina when she announced her change of nationality from Russian to Australian. Potapova justified it this way: "I couldn't have said it better... so I didn't. Those were the perfect words. I loved it. My team and everyone loved it. So yes, we tried it. I don't think anything terrible happened. I think the media exaggerated it just because they didn't like that I did it. I mean, who cares about the posts, right?".

Amazing match that took place at the 2026 Australian Open this Sunday with packed and enthusiastic stands cheering on Venus Williams in her quest to continue making history. The American was just two games away from winning a high-level match at 45 years old, but ultimately succumbed to a spirited Olga Danilovic. Leading 7-6 (5) 3-4 4-0, Venus experienced tremendous physical fatigue and lost six consecutive games, fighting until the end. A painful way to end the game.
