American tennis star Madison Keys completed a huge comeback victory over World No. 2 Iga Swiatek in Thursday's Australian Open semifinal to set up a final matchup vs. World No. 1 and reigning champion Aryna Sabalenka.

The American advanced to the final with a roller-coaster victory that was so intense she couldn't recall one very important point.

Keys saved a match point before winning in a final set tie-break while Sabalenka saw off close friend Paula Badosa.

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.
