Aus Open 1/12 - 2/1 2026

[ashkor87]

I would expect the women's semis to be
Pegula vs Rybakina
Gauff vs Sabalenka
Gauff and Rybakina have a 55% chance each and Gauff has a 70% chance against Ryba if they should get there...Gauff is playing well her forehand problems arent fixed but she is dealing with it by launching deeper
.would be fodder for a good volleyer but the only one left now is Pegula

[ponchi101]

You just jinxed Elena vs Iga...

[Suliso]

I think Sabalenka will win the title.

[ponchi101]

So do I. But you know my fondness for Elena, and how much I suffer when she loses.
She is the only WTA player that I get really involved in her matches. So, I would love for her to beat Iga.
And Ashkor just ruined it!

[Suliso]

If I could just choose a womens final it would be Svitolina vs Anisimova. I expect Sabalenka vs Rybakina.

[ponchi101]

I say Sabalenka - Swiatek.
Would like Anisimova - Rybakina.

[jazzyg]

I expect Sabalenka-Rybakina as well.

Would like it to be Svitolina-Pegula.

[JTContinental]

I'm going to say Sabalenka over Anisimova in the final--they have looked the best to me here

[ponchi101]

If Novak losses the final, he will join Roger as the two male players to have a career slam and a career slam runner up.

The Kovackova sisters win the junior doubles..after the Williams sisters, not many sisters play together..Kudermetova, Pliskova, Andreeva..wonder why...are they too similar? Sibling rivalry?
PS -they also won the USO 25
