Veteran Madison Keys took down No. 2 seed Iga Swiatek in a thrilling three-set match (5-7, 6-1, 7-6(8)) in the Australian Open semifinal on Thursday to advance to just the second Grand Slam final of her career.

Her opponent, Keys, also last reached the semi-finals in 2022 but was beaten by Ashleigh Barty who went on to win the tournament. Keys’s previous two outing saw her battle past Elena Rybakina in the fourth round then Elina Svitolina in the quarters. The American has had a tougher run but is a wiley competitior and should give Swiatek some trouble.
