Aryna Sabalenka Focuses on Comeback and Competition Beyond Swiatek at Australian Open

Aryna Sabalenka, a four-time Grand Slam champion, is preparing for the 2026 Australian Open with a focus on overcoming last year's final loss to Madison Keys. Despite her rivalry with world No. 2 Iga Swiatek, Sabalenka emphasizes the presence of other strong contenders like Coco Gauff, Elena Rybakina, and Jessica Pegula. After winning the Brisbane International without dropping a set, she aims to improve on her previous performance and reclaim her position on the hard courts.
