Top seeds ro ress progress Alcaraz, Sabalenka pass early Australian Open tests

C ARLOS ALCARAZ with stood a barrage of big hit ting from a familiar foe in Yannick Hanfmann in the Australian Open second round yesterday, with fellow top seed Aryna Sabalenka also enduring some shaky moments before seal ing progress. Title contender Coco Gauff was another to book a spot in the next round, making short work of Olga Danilovic, and there was more joy for Turkish qualifier Zeynep Sonmez, who matched her best run at a Grand Slam by reaching the third round. After a breezy win in the open ing round, the 22-year-old Alcaraz was given more of a workout by world No. 102 Hanfmann at a sun bathed Rod Laver Arena but rose to the challenge and prevailed 7 6(4), 6-3, 6-2. “I knew he was going to play great,” Alcaraz said. “I knew his level. We came through the Challengers together, I’ve played him. It was tougher than I thought at the beginning and I didn’t feel the ball that good.”

“She didn’t start well, but then she had the strength to step in and to change couple of things and, to put me under pressure. That was really impressive,” Sabalenka said. “It seemed like she wouldn’t really care about the score. She would just try to find something that’s going to help her to win the match.” Gauff was at her ruthlessly effi cient best, the third seed crushing Danilovic 6-2, 6-2 to progress, while Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko downed American Caty McNally 6-4, 6-3. Emma Raducanu’s day ended in disappointment, the 2021 US Open winner beaten by Austrian Anastasia Potapova 7-6(3), 6-2, while Elina Svitolina advanced in easier morning conditions, beat ing Linda Klimovicova 7-5 6-1. Daniil Medvedev surrendered the opening set to Quentin Halys but the three-times runner-up dug deep to score a 6-7(9), 6-3, 6 4, 6-2 victory to join his childhood Russian friend Andrey Rublev in the next round. – Reuters

ond set, relying on his pace and precision to double his advan tage. Hanfmann received medical treatment before the start of the third set and a free-flowing Alcaraz showed no mercy, sealing a double break and closing out the contest on serve. “It was coming like a bomb,” the Spaniard said of Hanfmann’s power. “Forehand, backhand, serves. I had to be ready for those. “I’m really happy that I got through a difficult first set … and I played a really good level at the end of the match and get through.” Sabalenka’s issues in the opener on the main showcourt came out of the blue, the Belarusian racing to a 5-0 lead against China’s Bai Zhuoxuan before suddenly stumbling and losing three games in a row. However, the world No. 1 refo cused and proceeded to mow down Bai the rest of the way, run ning out a 6-3, 6-1 winner to stay on track for her third title at the Grand Slam.

Alcaraz found him self trailing 1-3 in the first set and after getting back on level terms he wasted several chances to break Hanfmann’s huge serve again. However, the six times major winner pounced in the tie break to wrap up a

“Our journey won’t always be easy and chal lenges inevitably lie ahead, but winning is what drives both companies forward and together we look forward to many successful years of partnership.” Aston Martin chief strategy officer Andy Cowell, whom Newey replaced as team boss at the end of last season, was also present at the event alongside F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali. Honda Motor Co. president Toshihiro Mibe added: “In 2026, F1 will undergo a major change in regulations for both the chassis and power unit. “Honda sees F1 as a symbol of challenge and innovation, and HRC, the global racing arm of Honda, has developed the RA626H, the new power unit for the 2026 season, to meet those challenges. “Striving to become number one in the world, Honda will continue to take on chal lenges together with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team.” Aston, who also have two-time world cham pion Fernando Alonso as one of their drivers, unveil their 2026 car at a launch event in Ithra, Saudi Arabia, on Feb 8. All 11 teams will be present at a private test ing session next week in Barcelona, before two official tests in Bahrain next month. The 2026 season starts in Melbourne on Match 8. – The Independent

LAWRENCE STROLL believes Aston Martin and Honda’s new partnership have “all the elements required to fight for victory” ahead of the 2026 F1 season. Japanese giant Honda, who formerly worked with Red Bull for seven seasons, held their own launch event as the new power unit supplier for Aston in Tokyo on Tuesday. Aston, who have F1 design guru Adrian Newey as their team principal this season, have long targeted 2026’s new era of regulations as a starting point to work their way up the ladder and compete for race wins and world champi onships, having moved on from using Mercedes engines. This year’s car will be the first that Newey has fully worked on and, six weeks out from the sea son opener in Australia, team owner Lawrence Stroll – father of driver Lance –was in an opti mistic mood at the event in the Japanese capi tal. He said: “The strong collaboration between the AMR (Aston Martin Racing) Technology Centre at Silverstone and Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) in Sakura demonstrates the depth of our partnership. “We are confident that we have all the ele ments required to fight for victory in the future and we have tremendous faith in Honda’s Power Unit and the engineers behind it.
