Sabalenka won her first major singles title after defeating Rybakina at the 2023 Australian Open. History could come full circle as she goes for her fifth major. The two will clash again and possibly produce a third Aussie title for the Belarusian powerhouse who sits atop women’s tennis.

She has won 11 matches in a row and has yet to drop a set in 2026. After flustered moments in last year’s final and French Open final, her nerves will again be tested on this stage.

Sabalenka recently became the first player in the Open era to win 20 consecutive tiebreaks.

It marks the fourth consecutive Australian Open final appearance for Sabalenka, who has also claimed eight victories against Rybakina in 14 meetings.
