No matter how much of a favorite Aryna Sabalenka is every time she sets foot on Australian soil, there will always be certain rivals who make her uncomfortable wherever she encounters them. Karolina Muchova is an example, a woman who had beaten her in their last three meetings, although this time the story was very different. Clear victory for the Belarusian (6-3, 6-4) to continue her strong run at the WTA 500 in Brisbane, where she will compete in the final for the third consecutive season. A force of nature, the World No. 1, who is already waiting for Pegula or Kostyuk in the conclusion of this Sunday.

Madison Keys ended her experience in her first tournament of the year with a clear defeat against the world number one, Aryna Sabalenka, by 6-3, 6-3. Now, she will head to Adelaide where she defends the title, just as she will do in two weeks at the Open de Australia. The American still can't believe the incredible feat she achieved last year: "I think, at this moment in my career, if they had told me last year that this was going to happen now, I don't know if I would have believed it, but I hope there are many more first times to come," she said in the press conference following her defeat.

Another important withdrawal at the Australian Open 2026.

Last-minute withdrawal at the 2026 Australian Open, also quite unexpected. With no debut in 2026 yet, there seems to be a reason: Veronika Kudermetova will not be competing in Melbourne due to physical discomfort, freeing up the last spot within the seeded players (she was set to be the 32nd favorite) and letting Marketa Vondrousova take her place, who now moves into that spot and could face top players in the third round; on the other hand, Veronika Erjavec will replace her in the main draw. Tough blow for the Russian player, absent from the scene since late 2025.

While all the focus is on Australia, the major tennis players, namely, the ATP, WTA, and three of the four Grand Slams, met secretly in London this Tuesday and Wednesday, as reported by The Athletic. The topic they addressed was how to deal with the lawsuit filed by the PTPA a few months ago. According to the aforementioned source, all tennis entities are jointly working on a deal aimed at providing tournaments with "financial security, generating more revenue for the sport, and giving the players the highest salary, benefits, and voice they have been pushing for more strongly in recent months."

Perhaps 2026 will be the year when Marta Kostyuk makes a real quality leap. She already proved she can compete against the best in 2025, pushing names like Sabalenka to the limit, but at the beginning of this season, she seems to have taken a step further: she is stringing victories at WTA Brisbane 2026 over Amanda Anisimova (#3 in the WTA ranking) and now over Mirra Andreeva in a quarterfinal duel where the Ukrainian was clinical in crucial moments (7-6(7), 6-3). A very strong week that elevates her to #21 in the world... and with prospects of continuing to improve: in the semifinals, she will face a new top-10, Jessica Pegula, who displayed her best form to defeat Liudmilla Samsonova (6-3, 7-6(3)).

We are slowly approaching the outcome of this fourth edition of the United Cup 2026, formerly known as the Hopman Cup. A tournament where Switzerland has always performed well, so it's no surprise to see them firmly in the semifinals this season. This Saturday, January 10, they will face Belgium to determine which of the two countries will prevail and secure their ticket to the title fight. Will it be Bencic or Mertens? Wawrinka or Bergs? Will we witness a mixed doubles showdown? Starting tomorrow from 10:00 local time, we will have the answers.

Karolina Muchova has kicked off the season by defeating Ajla Tomljanovic, Ekaterina Alexandrova, and Elena Rybakina at the WTA 500 in Brisbane. That means she is leaving here with at least two victories against top 10 players. And there may be more, as she now faces Sabalenka in the semifinals, whom she has beaten in their last three encounters. Before this event, the Czech explained in a press conference that she has tried to make changes compared to last season.

"I am still doing what I do every year, trying to prepare myself the best I can. Perhaps I have worked on some aspects more, like the technique of my serve and specific exercises in the gym, but the most important thing is to stay healthy. I want to be a little stronger, work on what we have always worked on and push a little more on the court," said the woman who currently closes the top 20 of the WTA rankings.

A whole year has passed, but it is impossible to forget everything experienced by Madison Keys last January. The American lost in the quarterfinals of Auckland to then conquer Adelaide and the Australian Open. And how has her 2026 calendar started? Losing in the quarterfinals of Brisbane. The question was inevitable in the press conference, even though Maddie did not arrive with the best sensations on the court.

“My life hasn't changed that much since then, but it's definitely still an achievement I am very proud of. At this point in my career, if you had told me last year that all this was going to happen to me, I wouldn't have believed you. I hope there are many more firsts to come, that's the beauty of tennis, thinking that it's never too late. Only then can some craziness happen...” commented the World No.7.

Yesterday we were talking about the outstanding performance that Elina Svitolina was displaying at the WTA 250 in Auckland, but you know how tennis goes. No, the Ukrainian hasn't been eliminated the next day, but it was close. To advance to the semifinals, she had to pull off a miraculous comeback against Sonay Kartal, who had her on the ropes in the third set at 4-2, 40-15. In the end, Svitolina managed to stay in the battle and turn the score around (6-4, 6-7, 7-6). A thrilling match with a ticket to the semifinals on the line.
