After some time away from the circuit due to mental health issues, Sara Sorribes returned in November to close out the season with a racket in hand. She has played in three tournaments in 2026 as well, although it was only in this last one where luck finally favored her. The player from Castellón debuted with a victory in the WTA 250 Cluj-Napoca, an event in which she competes using a protected ranking. She triumphed over Viktoriya Tomova (6-2, 7-5) and will now face Yue Yuan in the round of 16. Another Spaniard present in the draw is Kaitlin Quevedo, whom we will also be closely following this week.

Yes, you read it right, it's not a joke. Craig Tiley, director of the Australian Open, confessed in an interview with NY Times that they are seriously considering exploring the possibility of women playing best-of-five sets in the later rounds. "I think women should play five-set matches, and we are thinking of implementing it from the quarterfinals onwards. If after studying it we believe it is the right thing, we will try to do it for 2027. There is nothing in the rules that prohibits it, but we need to have a deep consultation with the players," he stated.

Elena Rybakina not only adds her second Grand Slam title after winning her first Australian Open, but also clinches two significant titles in less than three months, following her triumph at the WTA Finals last November. This achievement is not within reach of all tennis players, as the Kazakh becomes the ninth player to accomplish this feat after Steffi Graf, Monica Seles, Martina Hingis, Lindsay Davenport, Amelie Mauresmo, Serena Williams, Kim Clijsters, and Caroline Wozniacki.
