It hurts just to see it. Marta Kostyuk suffered a dramatic fall during a point in her match against Elsa Jacquemot in the first round of the Australian Open 2026. That painful ankle twist occurred as the Ukrainian was serving to stay in the match. After being attended to by the physios, the number 20 in the world returned to the court with a strong bandage to continue fighting for victory in Melbourne.

Doesn’t look good at all.
She tried to walk but immediately winced in pain… she can’t put much weight on her ankle.
Hopefully she can continue. 🇺🇦❤️🩹 pic.twitter.com/8tXXIjB1W9

She thinks so too. During her first-round match at the 2026 Australian Open, Maria Sakkari left everyone speechless. The Greek tennis player hit an incredible shot that went over the net with an absolutely impossible spin to return. A shot that even she couldn't explain in the post-match interview. Do we already have the best point of the tournament?

The Swiss tennis player, who is going through a great moment of form, admitted that she would have liked to be part of one of the most viral events of recent times.
The 2026 Australian Open is celebrating, even though the final draws have not been played yet. During the week leading up to the tournament, the qualifiers and some exhibition matches were held, such as the One Point Slam tournament or matches featuring Carlos Alcaraz and Roger Federer. This has led to a attendance record being broken in the lead-up week.
In fact, it has been surpassed by far, almost doubling the figure. In 2023, the attendance during the lead-up week was 63,120 spectators. In 2024, the number rose to 89,894. In 2025, the 100,000 attendees mark was exceeded, reaching 115,528. However, this year takes the cake, as it has reached 217,999. Historic.
