Polish Iga Swiatek

(Paris) The Polish Iga Swiatek dominates an unchanged Top 20 of the WTA rankings on Monday, in which the podium is still occupied by the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, crowned at the Australian Open, and the Tunisian Ons Jabeur.

The French Caroline Garcia, beaten Sunday in the final in Lyon by Alycia Parks, failed to overtake Jessica Pegula and remains 5^e. On the other hand, it has picked up a few points and is only 205 units behind on the 4^e.

Parks, victorious in Lyon, is precisely the author of the performance of the week. The American progresses by 28^e places to reach 51^e rank, the best ranking of his career.

The other WTA 250 tournament of the week was won in Thailand by the Chinese Lin Zhu who reached the 41^e rank (+13 places). Her unfortunate opponent in the final, the Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko takes the last place in the Top 100.

Djokovic reached the quarter-finals of the Aus Open due to his opponent’s injury

38-year-old Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic (ATP 4) reached the quarter-finals of the 2026 Australian Open ahead of schedule.

On January 26, Novak was supposed to play in the fourth round against the representative of the Czech Republic, Jakub Mensik (ATP 17). However, the meeting will not take place – Meshik withdrew from the fight due to an abdominal muscle injury.

“After doing everything we could to continue my performance, I had to withdraw from the Australian Open due to an abdominal muscle injury that got worse in the last matches. Despite the disappointment, I will remember for a long time my debut in the fourth round of this tournament. I felt great energy from the fans and the atmosphere in Melbourne was really special,” said Yacoub.

The winner of the match between Lorenzo Musetti (Italy, ATP 5) and Taylor Fritz (USA, ATP 9) will be Novak’s next opponent.

Djokovic will play in the quarter-finals of the major tournament in Melbourne for the 16th time in his career and will compete in the semi-finals for the 13th time.
