Rybakina Decimates Swiatek In Aus Open Quarterfinals

By IANS News January 28, 2026 • 09:34 AM View: 227

Rod Laver Arena: Elena Rybakina ended world No.2 Iga Swiatek’s hopes in the Australian Open quarterfinals on Wednesday with a dominant 7-5 6-1 victory at Rod Laver Arena.

The fifth seed from Kazakhstan foiled the Pole’s 2026 bid for the career Grand Slam – her sustained power and precision were decisive in the 93-minute showdown. Unbeaten at last year’s WTA Finals, this was her eighth straight top-10 win.

Early breaks were traded as the pair took time to settle into their 12th career meeting, with Swiatek having claimed six of those.
