Ukrainian tennis player Elina SvitolinaThe player, who continued his successful performance at the Australian Open 2026 in Melbourne, updated his list of achievements in his career.
The Ukrainian tennis player reached the quarter-finals of the tournament by defeating the world’s seventh racket, the “neutral” Mirra Andreeva, in two sets, 6:2, 6:4 in the 1/8 final.
This result allowed Svitolina to repeat her personal best at the Australian Open. He had previously reached the quarter-finals in Melbourne in 2015, 2016 and 2025, but stopped one step shy of the semi-finals each time. In addition, the victory over Andreeva became Elina’s 33rd victory in the Australian Open main draw. This is his best result in a Grand Slam tournament; he won the same number of matches only at Roland Garros.
It is especially important that Svitolina reached the quarter-finals without losing a single set. For the Ukrainian, this is the third such incident in Grand Slam tournaments during his career. He had previously managed to reach this stage at the 2019 and 2021 US Open without losing a set. Her victory over Andreeva also marked Svitolina’s first win of the season against a tennis player ranked in the top 10 in the world rankings, allowing her to extend her winning streak at the beginning of the year to 9 matches.
In the quarterfinals of the Australian Open 2026, Svitolina will face a serious test: a match against the world’s third racket, American Coco Goff. In one-on-one matches, Goff is ahead 2:1, but the Ukrainian player’s excellent form leads to a tense match.
