The Australian Open 2026 is shaping up for a high-quality finish with 11 of the 12 men's and women's top-six seeded players still in contention.

The men's semi-finals will be competed between four of the top eight players in the competition, while the women's draw looks similarly tight.

That means the power couple of men's tennis, Carlos Alcaraz, the World No. 1 and top seed, and Jannik Sinner, the defending Australian Open champion, are currently on course to renew their rivalry in the final.
