Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff moved to within one round of a semi-final collision course at the Australian Open as the two highest-ranked players in the top half of the singles draw maintained their momentum on a warm day in Melbourne Park.
On Sunday, Sabalenka extended her dominant run in Melbourne by dismantling Mirra Andreeva 6-1, 6-2. Now three wins away from becoming the first woman in 26 years to win three Australian Open titles, Sabalenka has won her last 24 sets at the tournament, a streak dating back to her three set victory over Elena Rybakina in the 2023 final.
