Aryna Sabalenka's journey to the 2026 Australian Open semifinals was a testament to her resilience and skill. In a match that began under the open roof due to heat warnings, Sabalenka faced 18-year-old American Iva Jovic. Despite Jovic's valiant efforts, including three break point chances in the ninth game, Sabalenka emerged victorious with a 6-3, 6-0 win. This victory marks Sabalenka's third Australian Open title bid in four years, and she's on a collision course with another teenager in the semifinals. But here's where it gets controversial... Jovic, born to immigrant parents in California, has been getting tips from Serbian tennis icon Novak Djokovic. Will this young talent be able to overcome Sabalenka's experience and reach the finals? Stay tuned and let us know in the comments what you think!
