Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek Eye Final Showdown At Australian Open
Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek are clear favourites to win their respective semi-finals on Thursday and set up a blockbuster Australian Open title decider. The men's finalists at Melbourne Park will be decided on Friday, leaving the women in the spotlight in a night-time double-header at Rod Laver Arena. First up at 7:30 pm (0830 GMT) will be the world number one and defending champion Sabalenka against Spain's 11th seed Paula Badosa, followed on to the centre court by five-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek against Madison Keys. Sabalenka can become the first woman since Martina Hingis in 1999 to win the Australian Open three years in a row.
