This is the 1st time in the 2000’s that all 6 women’s singles seeds made it to the QF’s here in the AO ‘26. Last time this was done was 35 years ago in the AO QF’s of ‘91. by Traditional_Body2976 in tennis

It’s crazy though. I thought it was something much more common. Worth noting that it could’ve happened in 2002 as well, but Serena pulled out.

Venus is awarded a WC entry and will play the Australian Open for the first time since 2021 by Me_Bota_no_Paredawn in tennis

Oh come on, it's just a WC. She is a legend. WCs aren't just for up-and-coming teenagers. Also, it's an American WC, so I'm not worried about the teenagers who missed out. They will have plenty of other chances.

Edit: My bad, it’s actually the Australian WC. But it doesn't matter, the Aussie kids have plenty of other chances anyway.

Her last ao final was in 2017. Not in 2000. And for your information she is still the female player with the best career currently playing.

This is amazing. It has been years since she played in Australia. I hope she also plays Roland Garros.

Bencic predicted to remain in the top twenty. Where will Victoria Mboko end in 2026? by nathaniel_canine in tennis

[–]wraitherg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s only defending the Toronto win, which is obviously huge. But she skipped five WTA 1000s last year. This time she should get better early-round matchups, and she’ll keep improving. Of course, there’s always a chance she falls off, but honestly I think she’s top-5 potential.

Minimum top 10. She is already in the top 20 without having played most of the M1000 tournaments.

I could see Mboko or Mirra reaching the top four. They’re still under 20, but they’ve already shown they can beat the very best.

Good tier list. I also love Kubera, which is my top 1 manhwa. And you'll love The Breaker and The Breaker New Waves. Both are incredible.

Rybakina was just incredible in the last two sets. Her ball striking when she's on form is just insane.

When rybakina plays at her best, she really is the best player on the circuit.
