USTA Press Release, January 26, 2026

Six Americans – four women and two men – are set to compete in the singles quarterfinals of the Australian Open in Melbourne, setting a number of historical marks and superlatives in getting there:

The four U.S. women reaching the quarterfinals – Coco Gauff, Amanda Anisimova, Jessica Pegula and Iva Jovic – are the most American women’s quarterfinalists at the Australian Open since five in 2001 (Jennifer Capriati, Lindsay Davenport, Monica Seles, Serena Williams, Venus Williams).

The 21-year-old Gauff and 18-year-old Jovic are the first pair of Americans to reach a major quarterfinal both before turning 22 since Serena and Venus Williams at Roland Garros in 2002.

20-year old Learner Tien, who joins three-time AO quarterfinalist Ben Shelton as the two U.S. men’s quarterfinalists, is the youngest man to reach the Australian Open quarterfinals since 2015 (Nick Kyrgios) and the youngest American man to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal since 2002 (Andy Roddick, US Open).
