As relentless as ever, Iga Swiatek (WTA 2) reached the final four of the Australian Open without dropping a single set.
The Pole will face Madison Keys (WTA 14) on Thursday for a place in the final, the other semi-final pitting Aryna Sabalenka and Paula Badosa against each other.
The rounds follow one another and are similar for Iga Swiatek: systematically winner in two sets of her matches since the start of the tournament, she continued her momentum in the quarter-finals against the American Emma Navarro on Wednesday (6-1 6-2) . She lost only 14 games in her first six matches…
‘It was much more difficult than the score suggests,’ commented the Pole. ‘Emma is a fighter. I’m happy to have won these close games, that’s what made the difference,’ she said.
Swiatek reached the final four in Melbourne for the second time, three years after his first semi-final. Being back at this level is ‘great’, but ‘I’m going to fight to go further’, warned the Pole, who leads 4-1 in her face-to-face with her next opponent Madison Keys.
-Finalist of the 2017 US Open and now triple semi-finalist in Melbourne (2015, 2022, 2025), Madison Keys won 3-6 6-3 6-4 in front of the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina (WTA 27) earlier during the day. After losing the first set, ‘I felt like I had to play a little more aggressively. She controlled a lot of points and made me run,” said the American after her victory.
