Belinda Bencic and Elina Svitolina have become the first mothers to be ranked inside the WTA Tour's top 10 simultaneously. The milestone follows the latest rankings release on Monday, after Svitolina's strong performance at the Australian Open. The WTA praised the achievement as a significant moment for women's sports.
Aryna Sabalenka defeated Naomi Osaka 7-5, 6-3 in a French Open fourth-round night session on Court Philippe-Chatrier. The two players used their post-match comments to call for more women's matches in the prime-time slot.

In the growing debate over best-of-five-set Grand Slam matches for women—sparked by Elena Rybakina's 2026 Australian Open final win and backed by Elina Svitolina—Novak Djokovic has voiced strong reservations, calling them a 'whole different animal' due to extreme physical and mental demands.
In a major upset at the Australian Open, 19-year-old qualifier Nikola Bartůňková defeated tenth seed Belinda Bencic 6-3, 0-6, 6-4 in the second round. The world No. 126, making her Grand Slam main draw debut, ended Bencic's 12-match winning streak with a display inspired by Roger Federer and Carlos Alcaraz. Bartůňková's victory marks her as one of five teenagers reaching the third round.
