Madison Keys of the United States saved a match point on her way to stunning No.2 seed Iga Swiatek 5-7, 6-1, 7-6(8) in the A
It has been over seven years since Madison Keys crushed CoCo Vandeweghe in the 2017 US Open semifinal. Sloane Stephens defeated her close friend in the final, and it seemed like Keys might never get another opportunity to play in a Grand Slam final after suffering some heartbreaking moments in the years that followed.
Madison Keys came through a three-set semifinal thriller against Iga Swiatek at the Australian Open to reach her second Grand Slam final.
Her opponent, Keys, also last reached the semi-finals in 2022 but was beaten by Ashleigh Barty who went on to win the tournament. Keys’s previous two outing saw her battle past Elena Rybakina in the fourth round then Elina Svitolina in the quarters. The American has had a tougher run but is a wiley competitior and should give Swiatek some trouble.
Sabalenka overpowered Clara Tauson and Mirra Andreeva in her third and fourth-round matches, but the extra pace of Pavlyuchenkova's shots forced her out of her comfort zone in the second set of the quarter-finals and Badosa, who is an aggressive counter-puncher, has the ability to do likewise.
Madison Keys is into the Australian Open semifinals for the third time after conquering Elina Svitolina 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Wednesday.
Iga Swiatek continued her run through the Australian Open on Wednesday, cruising past Emma Navarro to reach the semifinals, where she will meet Madison Keys.
Retired from the world of professional tennis since March 2022, Ashleigh Barty published a memoir entitled In My Dream Time that same year, in which
Tennis's newest villain, Danielle Collins, was booed and jeered by the Australian Open crowd during her third-round loss to fellow American Madison Keys on Saturday night.

Ash Barty hates Danielle Collins. While Barty is too nice to say it as frankly as that, don’t worry she has no time for the American who she beat in that historic Open final at Melbourne Park three years ago.
