she’s truly back and in her terrifying form. godspeed players of the WTA.
60% - Elena Rybakina (60.0%, 9-6) now holds the highest winning percentage against the WTA #1 since the rankings were first published in 1975 - minimum 10 meetings. Unreal.

History will be made in Melbourne this year.

Either Carlos Alcaraz will become the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam. Or Novak Djokovic will become the singular holder of most major titles won with 25.

I mean what can you say, Novak is pretty fucking good at tennis. 38 years old. you have to admire it, king of overcoming adversity.
January 30, 2026 at 2:35 PM
incredible stuff, really. wowza
Surely one of the craziest wins of Djokovic’s career! Takes out Sinner in five sets (3-6,6-3,4-6,6-4,6-4). Sinner loses his title and will surely have huge regrets because he kinda had that fifth set but couldn’t go take it. Djokovic went for everything, fighting like a man on a mission! 👏 both.

Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

I am struggling to keep up with the AO this year/am playing catch up, but it must be said: you may not like her stances on most stuff (I don’t) & she may have perfected the art of the own goal over the last year, but damn, one cannot deny Sabalenka is good at tennis.

she is inevitable.

I have been saying. Aryna smashing her racquet, Coco smashing her racket, zooming in on Iga crying during her cooling down routine…players need an area where they can decompress privately. not everything needs to be filmed and we are not entitled to seeing everything either. this isn’t big brother.
After her quarterfinal loss, Coco Gauff has suggested “conversations” should be held on player privacy at the Australian Open after she smashed a racket in a place she thought was private — and saw it broadcast to the world.
