Short Preview

As Aryna Sabalenka prepares to face Tiantsoa Sarah Rakotomanga Rajaonah in their upcoming WTA Australian Open match on January 17, 2026, all signs point to a compelling contest. Sabalenka, the reigning powerhouse, enters the match on a remarkable five-match winning streak, showcasing her dominant serve and aggressive baseline play. Her ability to dictate rallies with potent forehands and unrelenting pressure makes her a formidable opponent on home turf.

In contrast, Rakotomanga Rajaonah has recently struggled with form, securing only two victories in her last five outings. Her counter-punching style and tactical adaptability may offer some resistance, but overcoming a player of Sabalenka’s caliber is a tall order, especially given the disparity in recent performance.

Bookmakers favor Sabalenka heavily, reflected in odds of 1.02 for the home player versus 15 for the visitor, indicating a strong expectation for a straightforward victory. The predicted scoreline of 2:0 underscores this likelihood. While Sabalenka’s current momentum positions her as the favorite, tennis can be unpredictable, and the match will ultimately be decided on court, where both players will have their chance to compete fiercely.
