“I wasn’t going so deep in Grand Slams so much, except Roland Garros. For sure now I’m happy that I’m kind of playing my level here,” said Swiatek. “Last year my journey here finished in the fourth and third round, so for sure I feel more confident now.”Jannik Sinner sweeps past Alex de Minaur to thwart home hopes of Australian Open joyIn her third consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final, Navarro represented a step up in quality for Swiatek, who had not yet faced a top 40 opponent.
The match included a controversial call at 2-2 in the second set as Swiatek chased down a drop shot from Navarro before ending the point with a backhand winner. Subsequent replays, however, showed the ball had bounced twice before Swiatek reached Navarro’s drop shot. Video review technology is available at the Australian Open but because Navarro continued the point, she was not allowed to go back and change it.
Keys, meanwhile, has started the year performing at an exceptional level and she is now on a 10-match winning streak after winning in Adelaide Open the week before the Australian Open. Her victory over Svitolina also marks her seventh Grand Slam semi-final and her third in Melbourne, 10 years after her first. Keys’s best Grand Slam result came in 2017 when she reached the US Open final, losing to her close friend Sloane Stephens.
