Coco Gauff had a little difficulty adjusting to the sun at one end of Rod Laver Arena and dropped an early service game but quickly settled into a rhythm to start her Australian Open with a 6-3, 6-3 win Monday over 2020 champion Sofia Kenin.

Iga Swiatek explained why she used the phrase "personal issues" while serving her doping ban during the Fall of 2024.

Former Australian tennis player Todd Woodbridge, who was number 1 in doubles and who for a long time formed a very strong pair with his countryman Mark Woodforde, has expressed his clear opinion on the events related to the positive tests for doping substances failed by Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek.

Iga Swiatek, a self-described “control freak,” is taking new precautions — including holding on to extra samples of medicine she takes, in case they need to be tested at some point — after a doping case she describes as probably the worst time in her life.

Iga Swiatek says that her positive doping test was abstract to her as she did not know that medicine could be contaminated.

Zheng Qinwen isn't interested in speaking too much about Iga Swiatek's failed doping test or speculating about how the Pole may feel, simply stating that it was not her business and wishing the Pole all the best. On Friday, the Chinese tennis star and the world No. 2 held a practice session at Melbourne Park.
