The World No. 1 is a two-time champion at Melbourne Park, and is hungry to regain her lost crown. Meanwhile, her Ukrainian counterpart ousted the American powerhouse Coco Gauff in the last eight. While Sabalenka has the edge in the rivalry, anything can happen on the grandest stage of them all. The winner of this semifinal will face either Elena Rybakina or Jessica Pegula in Saturday&rsquo;s showpiece event.<\/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\">Another year, another Australian Open semifinal for Sabalenka! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/k5rl6Im3HV\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/k5rl6Im3HV<\/a><\/p>&mdash; US Open Tennis (@usopen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/usopen\/status\/2015971684931518714?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>January 27, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>It has been a practically flawless fortnight for four-time Grand Slam champion Aryna Sabalenka.

Unless one is willing to place a long shot bet on the handicaps, this is a low risk low reward match-up. Sabalenka is the clear favorite to win in straight sets in the BetMGM and FanDuel markets. The Playoffs News prediction is not far behind, as we sense a mismatch in level when it comes to the two competitors.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Aryna Sabalenka vs Iva Jovi&#263; | Quarter-Final | Australian Open 2026 Extended Highlights &#127462;&#127482;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m26OHrxO1B8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Sabalenka has a significantly higher average speed on the forehand and backhand wings. In her last match, the World No. 1 produced an 84% win ratio on first serve. Svitolina&rsquo;s game style was conducive to an opponent like Gauff, who likes to sit back and force the other player to make mistakes. But against Sabalenka, the World No. 12 will have minimal time and room for error. With the implied probability favoring the two-time champ at over 75%, a straight sets win to Sabalenka is the best bet.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aryna Sabalenka Recent Form<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brisbane International 2026: Winner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WTA Finals 2025: Final<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wuhan Open 2025: Semifinal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>US Open 2025: Winner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cincinnati Open 2025: Quarterfinal<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elina Svitolina Recent Form<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elina Svitolina Championship Interview | 2026 Auckland\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-9RICvOKRnw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ASB Classic 2026: Winner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BJK Cup Finals 2025: Round Robin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>US Open 2025: Round of 128<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cincinnati Open 2025: Round of 64<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>National Bank Open 2025: Quarterfinal<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aryna Sabalenka vs Elina Svitolina Head to Head Record<\/h2><p>Aryna Sabalenka leads the head-to-head against Elina Svitolina by 5-1.

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.
