Aryna Sabalenka is two wins away from continuing her reign of dominance at the Australian Open with a third women's title in four years.

The world number one, champion in 2023 and 2024, has lost just one of her past 25 matches at Melbourne Park.

Having been denied a third consecutive triumph by American Madison Keys in the 2025 final, Sabalenka has not dropped a set on her way to this year's semi-finals.

Across the sport's two hard court Grand Slam tournaments, the two-time defending US Open champion has lost just twice in 45 matches on her favourite surface.

The Belarusian is undoubtedly the title favourite - but can she set up her latest shot at glory today?

Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic completed the men's semi-final line-up on Wednesday, joining Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev in the final four.

Defending champion Sinner beat Ben Shelton is straight sets, while Djokovic conceded that he thought he was "on his way home" when he trailed Lorenzo Musetti by two sets - before the Italian was forced to retire because of injury.

Meanwhile, Elena Rybakina and Jessica Pegula were victorious against Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova respectively in the women's quarter-finals. They will meet in today's second semi-final.
