Aus Open: Sabalenka, Keys To Meet In Final After Contrasting Wins (roundup)
Rod Laver Arena: Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka and 19th seed Madison Keys will battle it out in the Australian Open final after contrasting victories in the women's singles semifinals on Thursday. In a nerve-jangling late-night semifinal, the hard-hitting Keys booked her spot against Sabalenka with an upset 5-7, 6-1, 7-6 (8) win over second seed Iga Swiatek.
The 2017 US Open finalist blasted seven aces and 36 winners as she moved a step closer to winning a maiden Grand Slam title, reports Xinhua.
She will start as an underdog in Saturday's final against top seed Sabalenka, who brushed aside 11th seed Paula Badosa 6-4, 6-2 on Rod Laver Arena in one hour and 26 minutes. She started slowly against her close friend Badosa, trailing 2-0 and 40-love, before warming to her task and taking control. The Belarusian finished with 31 winners to 11 from Badosa and broke four times.
