Two-time Australian Open champion Naomi Osaka has withdrawn from the ongoing 2026 Australian Open tournament due to an abdominal injury, according to Olympics.com.

Keys continued her winning run at the Australian Open, extending her unbeaten run to 10 matches, outclassing the former US Open and Wimbledon finalist 6-3, 6-3 to end her hopes of any further run in the tournament.

Keys defeated Ashlyn 6-1, 7-5 in a match that lasted an hour and 13 minutes, as per WTA's official website.

In the women's singles first round, defending champion Madison Keys survived a nervy match as she defeated Ukraine's Oleksandra Oliynykova to move to the second round of the Australian Open 2026 event.

Poland's Iga Swiatek booked her place in the second round of the Australian Open with a 7-6(5), 6-3 win over China's Yuan Yue, USA's Jessica Pegula eased past Russia's Anastasia Zakharova 6-2, 6-1, while Amanda Anisimova defeated her fellow American Simona Walter 6-3, 6-2. Meanwhile, third seed Coco Gauff began Australian Open campaign in style on Monday, registering a 6-2, 6-3 first-round victory over Uzbekistan's Kamilla Rakhimova in the women's singles, according to the WTA website.

America's Amanda Anisimova stormed into consecutive Grand Slam finals, continuing her redemption arc by taking down four-time major winner Naomi Osaka in the semi-finals of the women's singles at the US Open.

Amanda Anisimova advanced into the final fours of the US Open with a remarkable comeback against Iga Swiatek, winning by 6-4, 6-3 in a one-hour and 36-minute encounter and overcoming her 6-0, 6-0 defeat in the Wimbledon final earlier this year.

Naomi Osaka storms into the semi-finals of the US Open, defeating Karolina Muchova on Wednesday, in straight sets 6-4, 7-6(3). Osaka's victory sets up a semifinal match against Amanda Anisimova, who upset Iga Swiatek earlier in the day.

After winning the Cincinnati Open on Monday, Iga Swiatek teamed up with Casper Ruud in the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship. The pair advanced to the semi-final as they defeated Americans Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe 4-1, 4-2 without losing a set.
