Steffi Graf (1988-90) and Monica Seles (1991-93) have also achieved the feat, but Sabalenka was quick not to overlook her upcoming clash with Badosa

Sabalenka appeared on course to cruise through to the last four, and a clash with Paula Badosa, when she took the opening set with ease

She is now 19-0 at the slam, dating back to her dominant performance in 2023 when she dropped only one set en route to her first major.

Aryna Sabalenka once again showed her fighting spirit on the court at the Australian Open as she clinched a place in the semifinals after beating Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka raced into the Australian Open quarter-finals while Coco Gauff recovered from a set down to defeat Belinda Bencic. Sabalenka had been pushed in her two previous matches by Jessica Bouzas Maneiro and Clara Tauson, but she was ruthless against 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva.

It was a nervy performance from Sabalenka, too, but not enough that she fell victim to an upset as her presumptive semifinal opponent, Coco Gauff, did earlier in the day. And so, it will be Paula Badosa who tries to end Aryna’s reign as Australian Open champion.

While Coco Gauff's consecutive-set winning streak ended at the Australian Open, her bid for a second Grand Slam title continued Sunday with a 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 comeback victory over Belinda Bencic in the fourth round.

Paula Badosa thought she might retire due to a back injury. A year later, she's in to the semifinals against close friend Aryna Sabalenka.
