Sabalenka Eyes Another Final
Aryna Sabalenka reached her fourth straight Australian Open semifinal after beating 18-year-old Iva Jovic, 6-3, 6-0, in 90 minutes, ending the teenager’s dream run with a composed display.
Sabalenka has now extended her perfect start to the season to 10 wins without dropping a set. Apart from a brief scare against Anastasia Potapova earlier in the tournament, she has barely been tested.
This latest win further underlines the case we laid out in our Australian Open women’s tournament preview, where Sabalenka was tipped as the outright favourite for the title. The world number one continues to justify that billing with her control, consistency, and physical dominance through the draw.
With this run, Sabalenka became only the third top seed in the last decade to reach the Australian Open semifinals without losing a set, after Serena Williams (2016) and Ash Barty (2022).
She enjoyed a similar dominant path in Melbourne last year but fell short in the final, losing a three-set battle to Madison Keys, denying her a third consecutive Australian Open title.
Sabalenka now owns a 7–6 record in Grand Slam semifinals and is on a six-match winning streak at this stage on hard courts. With form and confidence firmly on her side, she looks primed for another title push.

Svitolina Silences Doubts
Elina Svitolina produced a stunning performance to defeat world No. 3 Coco Gauff 6-1, 6-2 and book her place in the Australian Open semifinals. It was her most dominant win of the tournament, giving the American no time to settle.
The Ukrainian controlled the match from start to finish and wrapped it up quickly with relentless pressure. This marks Svitolina’s first-ever Australian Open semifinal after three previous quarterfinal exits.
Like her opponent, Svitolina has not dropped a set throughout the tournament and now carries a 10-match winning streak. Her confidence has clearly carried over from recent weeks.
Notably, this is the first time she has defeated back-to-back top-10 players since the 2019 WTA Finals. It underlines just how sharp her level has been in Melbourne.
However, she enters the semifinal with a 0–3 record at this stage in Grand Slams, having lost all previous semifinal appearances in straight sets.

Verdict
