Aryna Sabalenka to Face Elena Rybakina in 2026 Australian Open Women's Final
Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina are set to compete in the 2026 Australian Open women's final after overcoming Elina Svitolina and Jessica Pegula in the semifinals. Sabalenka, a two-time winner, defeated Svitolina 6-2, 6-3, while former Wimbledon champion Rybakina triumphed over Pegula 6-3, 7-6(9).
Sabalenka, on an 11-match winning streak, will aim for her fifth Grand Slam singles title. Rybakina, ranked fifth in the world, looks to avenge her 2023 final loss to Sabalenka.
The final will be a showdown between two formidable players, with Sabalenka seeking redemption after feeling she lacked bravery in last year's final against Madison Keys.
