The Czech starlet edged out reigning WTA Finals champion Elena Rybakina in the last eight, and is out for more blood. However, the Belarusian powerhouse is on an eight-match win streak at this tournament. Despite Muchova holding the advantage in this rivalry so far, Sabalenka is set to start as the favorite over the weekend.<\/p><p>The last face-off between Sabalenka and Muchova took place over a year ago. Having already won competitions like the Australian Open and US Open back-to-back, the World No. 1 is aiming to repeat the heroics in the River City. She finished the 2025 campaign with an extraordinary 63-12 record, winning four trophies along the way. Meanwhile, Muchova is back in the Top-20 of the WTA Rankings, and could enter the Top-10 with a solid performance in Melbourne Park.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sabalenka d.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport.
