The Round of 16 is in the books at the 2026 Australian Open, and now the real fun begins.
Alvin and Torrey break down the women’s and men’s quarterfinal matchups, starting with Aryna Sabalenka’s form and the rapid rise of Eva Jovic, then moving through Coco Gauff vs Elina Svitolina and the evolving ceiling of Mirra Andreeva.
On the men’s side, we dig deep into Carlos Alcaraz vs Alex de Minaur, what “changing gears” actually means at the elite level, why Tommy Paul struggled to hurt Carlos, and how players like De Minaur, Bublik, and others match up stylistically as the tournament tightens.
This is the business end of the tournament — tactics, patterns, ceilings, and pressure.
If you enjoy thoughtful, practitioner-level tennis analysis, you’re in the right place.
