Australian Open: Madison Keys Rallies Past Iga Swiatek In Pulsating Semi-Final
Madison Keys pulled off a stunning upset of No. 2 Iga Swiatek in a high-intensity, high-quality Australian Open women's singles semi-final on Thursday (January 23, 2025), saving a match point along the way. The 29-year-old American rallied to edge out Swiatek 5-7, 6-1, 7-6 (10-8) and had a hard time believing the comeback and what she called an “extra dramatic finish.” Five-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek had been on the most dominant run at Melbourne Park in a dozen years. Now, Keys has the chance to face Aryna Sabalenka in her second Grand Slam final, a long wait after being the 2017 U.S. Open runner-up.
