MELBOURNE, Jan 26, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - United States players are dominating the women's draw at the Australian Open after Amanda Anisimova on Monday made it four Americans in the singles quarter-finals for the first time in 25 years. Anisimova defeated China's Wang Xinyu in straight sets and plays fellow United States title contender Jessica Pegula in the last eight in Melbourne. Half of the women left in the draw are from the United States, and one is guaranteed to reach the last four. The last time four or more American women made the singles quarter-finals of the Australian Open was in 2001 with Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Jennifer Capriati, Monica Seles and Lindsay Davenport. Jovic has the stiffest task of the United States quartet, coming up against world number one Aryna Sabalenka.
