UKRAINIAN STAR OLIYNYKOVA DEMANDS SABALENKA BAN AFTER EMOTIONAL 2026 AUSTRALIAN OPEN PROTEST
Oleksandra Oliynykova wore a defiant T-shirt to her press conference after losing to Madison Keys. Get the exclusive details.
Oleksandra Oliynykova didn’t slip quietly out of the Australian Open, even though she lost in the first round. The Ukrainian tennis player, knocked out by Madison Keys, had a message she wanted the world to hear.
Right after her match, Oliynykova pulled on a T-shirt that read, “I need your help to protect Ukrainian children and women, but I can’t talk about it here.” She wasn’t just making a statement for herself—she wanted action. She called on the ATP and WTA to ban world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and other players from Russia and Belarus from professional tennis.
For Oliynykova, who grew up in Kyiv and whose father is now a soldier fighting for Ukraine, this isn’t just about sport. She says letting Russian and Belarusian players compete is “very wrong”, especially with the war raging back home. Even though Sabalenka has said she doesn’t support the war or Belarusian President Lukashenko now, Oliynykova isn’t convinced. She pointed out that Sabalenka signed a letter backing Lukashenko in 2020, before Russia invaded Ukraine.
“It’s not right that they’re allowed to play while athletes in other sports get banned,” Oliynykova told The Age. “People see us all on court together and think everything’s normal, but they don’t see what’s going on behind the scenes. The people with money and power are using it to support aggression against my country. They could speak out, but they don’t.”
She doesn’t talk to Russian or Belarusian players in the locker room and hates seeing them there. Her anger isn’t just political—it’s personal. The night before she flew to Australia, a drone attack hit her neighbour’s apartment, and her own building shook. She says players who support Putin or Lukashenko are part of the reason her home isn’t safe.
She’s proud of her father and says his decision to join the military pushes her to fight harder on the court. Since he enlisted, her ranking has shot up more than 200 places. She’s also trying to earn enough prize money to buy drones for Ukraine’s defence.
Officially, Grand Slam rules say no political statements at venues, but Tennis Australia says there’s actually no rule stopping her. The Ukrainian Embassy in Australia thanked Oliynykova on social media for speaking out, saying Russian and Belarusian athletes shouldn’t be allowed to compete internationally while the war continues.
After her match, her dad messaged her, calling her “amazing”. She nearly cried reading it.
Tennis Australia has yet to respond to requests for comment.
DOHA DISASTER: IGA SWIATEK AND ELENA RYBAKINA BOTH CRASH OUT IN QUARTER-FINAL SHOCKERS
Massive upsets in Doha! Maria Sakkari stuns Iga Swiatek while teen Victoria Mboko takes down Rybakina. Read the full analysis.
World number two Iga Swiatek and Australian Open champ Elena Rybakina both made early exits from the Qatar Open on February 12, falling in the quarter-finals to Maria Sakkari and Victoria Mboko.
Swiatek, the top seed and defending champ, started strong; she broke Sakkari twice in the first set and looked on track for another easy win. But Sakkari, who’s had a tough stretch lately, dug in. She fought back, grabbing a tense 2-6, 6-4, 7-5 win. Afterward, Sakkari admitted, “It’s been a while since I had a big win like today.” She used to be ranked as high as No. 3 in the world back in 2022 but has slipped all the way down to 52. “When you drop in the rankings and you’re not playing good tennis, you start doubting yourself. You think you’re never going to beat those players again,” she said. “So it’s a huge process you have to go through in your head that you can do it.”
Sakkari, 30, had beaten Swiatek three times earlier in their careers, but not since 2021. Swiatek had won their last four matches, including a straight-sets victory in Qatar last year. “Last year, in the second round here against her, I was not confident; I was not believing in myself, and this year it’s different. I feel a lot better,” Sakkari said. She’ll now play either Karolina Muchova or Anna Kalinskaya in the semi-finals. “I’ve missed that feeling of going deep into tournaments.”
Swiatek, who dominated this event in 2022, 2023, and 2024, looked ready to do it again. But after dropping the first set, Sakkari found something extra. She broke early in the second set, and even though Swiatek kept responding, Sakkari steadied herself, broke again, and took the set. For the first time in their seven matches, they went to a deciding set. It was back-and-forth—Swiatek saved a match point, but Sakkari served out the win, finally sealing it on her third chance. The match lasted just under two and a half hours.
Right after that, Victoria Mboko kept her hot streak going. She beat Rybakina 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 in a match that was only six minutes shorter than the Sakkari-Swiatek battle. Mboko had already beaten Rybakina once this year, in the Montreal semi-finals, and she came out swinging again, breaking Rybakina’s serve three times in the first set. She dropped her own serve twice but still took the set. Rybakina bounced back to grab the second, but the 19-year-old Canadian had the edge in the third and closed it out 6-4.
Mboko, who lost to world number one Aryna Sabalenka in Melbourne a few weeks ago, now faces Jelena Ostapenko in the Doha semis. Ostapenko, the 2017 French Open champ and last year’s runner-up, made it through by beating Elisabetta Cocciaretto 7-5, 6-4.
ELITE CLUB: SEBASTIAN KORDA HITS 150 ATP WINS TO JOIN CARLOS ALCARAZ AND JANNIK SINNER
Sebastian Korda secures his 150th ATP win in Dallas. Discover the six stars born after 2000 who are chasing Sinner and Alcaraz.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are still running the show on the ATP Tour, but they’re not the only young guns making waves. Four other players born after 2000 have now reached 150 career wins, joining the exclusive club right behind the top two.
Sinner leads the pack with a massive 326 ATP wins, leaving Alcaraz in second with 287. These two haven’t just piled up the numbers, either—they’ve basically owned the Grand Slams lately, splitting the last nine majors between them.
Even so, this generation isn’t just a two-man race. Sebastian Korda made headlines at the Dallas Open by picking up his 150th ATP win against Michael Zheng. That puts him in the same bracket as Alcaraz and Sinner. Felix Auger-Aliassime sits just behind the top two with 270 wins, then comes Lorenzo Musetti at 184 and Holger Rune with 175.
Let’s be honest right now, Alcaraz and Sinner are still the players everyone’s chasing. But with both of them sitting out this week, the door’s wide open for someone else to step up. Korda, Taylor Fritz, and Ben Shelton are all battling it out at a Dallas Open packed with American talent. Meanwhile, Alex de Minaur and Auger-Aliassime are among the big names at the Rotterdam Open.
Take a look at the last nine Grand Slam winners, and it’s pretty much a Sinner-Alcaraz highlight reel:
Australian Open: 2024 Sinner, 2025 Sinner, 2026 Alcaraz
French Open: 2024 Alcaraz, 2025 Alcaraz
Wimbledon: 2024 Alcaraz, 2025 Sinner
US Open: 2024 Sinner, 2025 Alcaraz
Of course, there’s always hope that players like Rune and Jack Draper can mix things up, but Rune’s currently injured, and Draper’s just getting back after a long layoff. Then you have rising talents like Learner Tien and Joao Fonseca, both recent Next Gen ATP Finals champs, just like Alcaraz and Sinner were earlier in their careers, who might be the next to challenge the big two. The race is on, but for now, Alcaraz and Sinner are still setting the pace.
