25 Jan
Summary
- Mirra Andreeva reached the Australian Open fourth round for the third consecutive year.
- She is the first woman since Venus Williams to achieve this feat.
- Andreeva's next opponent is 12th seed Elina Svitolina.

Mirra Andreeva has secured her spot in the Australian Open's fourth round for the third consecutive year, continuing her impressive start to the 2026 season. This achievement places her in rare company, as she is the first woman since Venus Williams (1998-2001) to reach this stage in each of her first three appearances at the tournament.
Andreeva's journey to the fourth round in 2026 follows similar successes in 2024 and 2025. Her current form builds upon her recent title victory at the Adelaide International earlier in January 2026. She has dropped only one set thus far in the tournament.
Her next match is scheduled against 12th seed Elina Svitolina. This encounter follows Andreeva's previous victory over Svitolina at Indian Wells in 2025. Andreeva is striving to surpass her previous best Grand Slam performance, aiming for her highest Australian Open finish to date.
