Australian Open 2026 Women's singles final date, time (IST), live streaming

With the final now in sight, Sabalenka will await the winner of the second semifinal between Jessica Pegula and Elena Rybakina.

Aryna Sabalenka has cruised into her fourth consecutive Australian Open final with a dominant 6-2, 6-3 victory over Elina Svitolina in the 2026 semifinals. The Belarusian powerhouse, top seed in Melbourne, showcased her typical aggressive style, overpowering Svitolina from start to finish at the Rod Laver Arena.  With this win, Sabalenka has put herself in contention for a third Australian Open title and her fifth Grand Slam overall. A final clash against Elena Rybakina awaits her as she too won in straight sets to beat Jessica Pegula 6-3, 7-5 in the 2nd semis clash.

  Against Rybakina’s power, Sabalenka will be determined to add another Grand Slam title to her name, making the upcoming final a thrilling prospect for tennis fans worldwide. 

Both players have firmly established themselves as two of the sport's most dominant forces, with Sabalenka entering this final with a commanding 4 Grand Slam singles titles, including two Australian Open trophies. She has also claimed 22 main tour singles titles and 4 ITF titles, showcasing her aggressive and powerful style of play.

 

 

On the other hand, Rybakina, the 2023 Australian Open runner-up, has emerged as a major threat in recent years, with 1 Grand Slam title to her name (Wimbledon 2021), 11 main tour titles, and 3 ITF victories. While her Grand Slam count is lower, Rybakina’s powerful serve and composed game under pressure make her a formidable opponent.

 

Their head-to-head rivalry adds another layer of excitement, as both players will be looking to make their mark in this high-stakes encounter. Sabalenka, with her experience and power, has the edge in terms of major titles, but Rybakina’s calm demeanor and ability to handle big moments suggest that this final will be another closely contested battle.
