New Delhi: World no.2 Poland’s Iga Swiatek will be aiming to reach her maiden Australian Open final when she takes on USA’s Madison Keys in the all-important semi-final at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne Park on Thursday, January 23. Swiatek has enjoyed an incredible run in the tournament so far having not dropped a single set on her way to reaching her second semi-final in Melbourne.
The in-form Swiatek swept aside Emma Navarro in her quarter-final clash on Wednesday to storm into the semi-final where she will be up against Keys. 19th seed Keys defeated Elina Svitolina 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in her quarter-final encounter. Keys has punched above her weight in the tournament by upsetting the likes of Elena Rybakina and Svitolina and has displayed some phenomenal tennis in the tournament so far.
However, it will take nothing less than an extraordinary effort from the American to stop Swiatek’s juggernaut at the Australian Open 2025. Swiatek has been at her dominant best in the tournament so far with three ‘bagels’ and as many ‘breadsticks’ to her name. Swiatek, who has played 10 games in the tournament so far, has won as many as six games by a margin of 6-1 or less.
A bagel in tennis is when a player claims a set 6-0 without dropping a single game while a breadstick is when a player wins a set 6-1 by dropping just one game. Swiatek’s incredible bagel-laden run at the Australian Open showcases her dominance in the first Grand Slam of the season. The five-time Grand Slam winner is bidding to win her maiden Australian Open title and will start as an overwhelming favourite against Keys despite the American being on an unbeaten streak of 10 matches.
