By IANS News January 27, 2026 • 16:22 PM View: 322

Elina Svitolina staged the major upset of Australian Open on Tuesday night as she stunned the third seed Coco Gauff in just 59 minutes and advanced to her fourth career Grand Slam semifinal, and first at the Australian Open, here on Tuesday.

While Gauff struggled with her serve, unforced error count and, early on, even her string tension, Svitolina did everything right to close out a 6-1, 6-2 victory that puts her first Grand Slam semifinal since the summer of 2023 and her first in Australia at the age of 31.
