Australian Open: Madison Keys Saves Match Point, Stuns Swiatek In Semifinals
WTA Finals Fort Worth: Madison Keys of the United States saved a match point on her way to stunning No.2 seed Iga Swiatek 5-7, 6-1, 7-6(8) in the Australian Open semifinals, advancing to the second Grand Slam final of her career following the 2017 US Open. Keys had won just one of five previous meetings with Swiatek, with all four losses coming in straight sets.
The Pole served for a fifth victory at 6-5 in the decider but missed a match point with a netted backhand. Keys trailed most of the way in the ensuing super-tiebreak and was down 7-5, but found her best serves when she needed them to claim the final three points, converting her first match point after 2 hours and 35 minutes.
So tightly contested was the third set that Keys had no idea whether she had faced a match point. Keys had lost the first set and then fought back to win with a stunning comeback.
