Jakub Mensik survived a three-set battle against Fabian Marozsan to book his spot in the Auckland final, reaffirming his dominance over the Hungarian.

In a grueling three-hour battle, world No. 107 Kimberly Birrell outlasted No. 37 Jaqueline Cristian to book her spot in the Adelaide semi-finals. The victory marks a significant turnaround for the Australian, who avenged a lopsided clay-court defeat to the Romanian from May 2025.

Tatjana Maria efficiently dispatched veteran Venus Williams in straight sets to advance in Hobart. While the German world No. 42 stabilized her early 2026 season following a loss to Emerson Jones, Williams continues to seek rhythm, having now suffered back-to-back first-round defeats in January.

World No. 30 Iva Jovic rallied from a set down to halt Taylah Preston's breakout run in the Hobart International semifinals. The American secured a 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory in two hours and six minutes, ending the 204th-ranked Australian's streak of upsets over top-100 opponents on Tasmanian hard courts.

Elisabetta Cocciaretto produces a masterclass in efficiency to dismantle higher-ranked Antonia Ruzic, reversing a two-match hard-court losing streak against the Croatian. The world No. 80 advances to the final in Tasmania, extending her unbeaten run to five matches with a decisive straight-sets victory.

World number 30 Iva Jovic continues her dominant hard-court form, needing just 72 minutes to dismiss Renata Zarazua. The victory underscores the American's ruthless efficiency this week, following a semi-final run earlier in January.
