The 2026 Australian Open is right around the corner, with players sweating it out at warmup events to prepare for the ultimate showdown at Melbourne Park. The women’s singles will feature some of the biggest stars competing for the title, and while there are some favorites on the roll to claim the Grand Slam win, there are also some dark horses who can spring a major surprise.
Amongst those are four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka and 2025 WTA Finals champion Elena Rybakina. While a resurgent Osaka finished the 2025 campaign on a decent note by reaching the semifinals at the US Open, Rybakina threw down the gauntlet after winning the prestigious year-ending tournament by defeating some of the biggest names in women’s tennis.
It has become a recent trend for fans to learn about the players’ kits and outfits before a major Grand Slam. This trend has continued in 2026 as the Australian Open nears. Osaka’s rumored Nike-sponsored kit and Rybakina’s Yonex-sponsored kits have been revealed on social media, and the tennis world has taken notice with excitement.
Before Naomi Osaka and Elena Rybakina It Was Coco Gauff Whose Australian Open Kit Was Revealed
Just before Osaka and Rybakina had their official kit for the Australian Open revealed online, it was American No. 1 and World No. 3 Coco Gauff who had her official New Balance-sponsored outfit revealed for the 2026 Australian Open. The outfit has a yellowish-orange color, which the fans are loving and appreciating the sponsor’s work.
