World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka insisted on Friday that the race to the Australian Open title was wide open and not just between herself and Iga Swiatek.
 
The Belarusian and Poland’s World No. 2 Swiatek share 10 Grand Slam crowns between them. 

“I think it’s actually not only about me and Iga,” she said. “There is Coco [Gauff], Elena [Rybakina], Jessica [Pegula]. It’s not only about me and her, to be honest.”
