MELBOURNE : Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka will battle American 19th seed Madison Keys in the final on Saturday looking to become the first woman since Martina Hingis from 1997-99 to win the Australian Open title three times in a row.
Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka put her close friendship with Paula Badosa aside Thursday to sweep past the Spaniard into a third successive Australian Open final. The Belarusian world number one came home 6-4, 6-2 on Rod Laver Arena and will meet either Polish second seed Iga Swiatek or American 19th seed Madison Keys in Saturday's decider. The hard, fast courts of Melbourne Park have been the 26-year-old's happy place. She has now won 20 straight matches at the Australian Open to close in on a third consecutive crown -- something that hasn't happened this century.
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.
Iga Swiatek continued her romp through the Australian Open draw with a quarter-final victory over Emma Navarro.

MELBOURNE : Aryna Sabalenka will not let her friendship with Paula Badosa affect her quest to win a third successive Australian Open title when the best friends clash in the semi-finals, the defending champion said on Tuesday.
Aryna Sabalenka will begin her quest for a historic third consecutive Australian Open crown when the first Grand Slam of the year begins on Sunday. The Belarusian world number one headlines the evening session on the main Rod Laver Arena in a potentially tricky encounter with 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens at 7:00 pm (0800 GMT). Men's second seed Alexander Zverev rounds off the first night against the dangerous Lucas Pouille of France, who made the semi-finals at Melbourne Park in 2019 before losing to eventual champion Novak Djokovic.
The first Grand Slam of the year is upon us and the Australian Open promises to deliver epic action and storylines. Two-time defending women's champion Aryna Sabalenka will attempt a three-peat which has eluded the game's best since the dominant days of Steffi Graf, Monica Seles and, most recently, Martina Hingis in 1997-99. She'll likely need to beat two of Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina to do so.
