Favorites Hold Steady as Australian Open 2026 Week 1 Winds Down

Week 1 at the Australian Open 2026 delivered few shocks as the sport’s heavyweights—including Sinner, Alcaraz, Sabalenka, Gauff, Świątek, Djokovic and others—advanced to Week 2. The event’s first week was as much about atmosphere and fashion as results, though rising players from college circuits and qualifiers (notably Spizzirri, Quinn, Mboko, Tien, Jovic) made noise. Naomi Osaka withdrew with an abdominal injury; Latisha Chan announced retirement; Félix Auger-Aliassime briefly threatened an upset before an injury ended his match. Off-court topics ranged from streaming costs and crowded venues to climate concerns and fan experience. Week 2 is expected to bring seed-vs-seed clashes and bigger prizes, with speculation about Craig Tiley’s departure framing the event.
