Elena Rybakina, as usual, has not made much noise during the 2026 Australian Open. She went from victory to victory, advancing rounds until she reached the final in Melbourne without losing any sets and with the intention of securing her second Grand Slam title, following Wimbledon 2022. She will face Aryna Sabalenka in the final, a two-time champion she defeated in their last showdown at the WTA Finals. Since that tournament in Riyadh, the Kazakh player has won 18 of her last 19 matches, a streak that the Belarusian should take into serious consideration and not underestimate.

The classification of Elena Rybakina for the final of the 2026 Australian Open meant a double reward for the Kazakh. In addition to competing in her third Grand Slam final, Rybakina will reappear on Monday in the Top-3 of the WTA ranking, climbing two places at the expense of Coco Gauff, who will drop from the podium to number 5 in the ranking. If she were to win the title, Rybakina would come much closer to the second place currently held by Iga Swiatek.

Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, the two most in-form players on the WTA circuit, will face off this Saturday in the final of the 2026 Australian Open. It is a dream matchup, both due to the names involved and the level of tennis displayed by both throughout the tournament. The showdown is already making history even before it begins: both players have reached the grand final without dropping a single set, a feat not seen since Wimbledon 2008 when the Williams sisters faced off under identical circumstances. Back then, Venus emerged victorious with a 7-5, 6-4 scoreline.

Elena Rybakina is already in the 2026 Australian Open final. The Kazakh defeated Pegula (6-3, 7-6 (9)) and her own demons to set up a clash with Sabalenka on Saturday, as she acknowledged courtside. "It's been a great battle. Jessica played very well in the second set, and I'm happy to be in the final. The end of the match was very stressful. I had an epic tie-break a couple of years ago and lost it. I think it's the longest one played in a women's match and I had some flashbacks about it. I managed to win and take many positives from the match. Tomorrow, I'll train and go shopping in the city to relax. I like to get off the courts and spend time with my team."

Aryna Sabalenka's victory over Svitolina in the semifinals of the 2026 Australian Open has broken numerous historical records. With the final she will play this Saturday, Sabalenka will reach 7 consecutive Grand Slam finals on hard court, a streak that began at the 2023 Australian Open and continues three years later. Since then, the number one player has won two titles in Melbourne (2023, 2024) and two US Opens (2024, 2025). A feat achieved by very few. Only Steffi Graf—between the US Open 1987 and the US Open 1990— and Martina Hingis, between the 1997 Australian Open and 2000, had accomplished this.
