Iga Swiatek drops just three games as she breezes past Emma Navarro to set up an Australian Open semi-final against Madison Keys.

MELBOURNE - Paula Badosa and Madison Keys will be out to prevent a dream Australian Open final when they face Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek, respectively, in Thursday's semi-finals at Melbourne Park.

Once paralysed by the pressure to win a Grand Slam title, Madison Keys is now at peace with her lot as she prepares for a blockbuster Australian Open semi-final with Iga Swiatek.

Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek are clear favourites to win their respective semi-finals on Thursday and set up a blockbuster Australian Open title decider.

There was a moment Monday afternoon, during Madison Keys’ Australian Open fourth-round match against No. 6 seed Elena Rybakina, when her coach, Bjorn Fratangelo, realized that this wasn’t the time for happy talk.

The 2025 Australian Open runs from Sunday, Jan. 12 to Sunday, Jan. 26. However, due to the time difference in The Land Down Under, match start times will be a bit wonky for U.S. viewers, meaning the first major tennis tournament of the year will start airing coverage at 7 p.m. ET on Jan. 11 in U.S. timezones.

Eight women remain in the 2025 Australian Open, and three of them are Americans. That group of quarterfinalists is headlined by No. 3 seed Coco Gauff and includes No. 8 Emma Navarro and No. 19 Madison Keys. Sofia Kenin in 2020 was the last American woman to hoist the trophy in Melbourne.

Keys raised her game, though, breaking Svitolina in both the final sets while staying rock-solid on serve. Shelton, the 21st seed, is the last American in the men's singles draw, having carried on after the third round demise of US Open runner-up Taylor Fritz and the quarterfinal exit of 12th seed Tommy Paul.

Iga Swiatek is dominating her Australian Open opponents the way no one has at Melbourne Park since Maria Sharapova in 2013. Swiatek's latest lopsided win came via a 6-1, 6-2 score in the quarterfinals against No.
