2025 Australian Open semi-final updates at Rod Laver Arena as Keys forces a decider

The great escape in the previous game seems to dampen Key’s spirit and loosen up Iga.

The Pole suddenly hits his groundstrokes more cleanly, and it is Maddy who falters with a series of bad misses from each wing, giving triple break point.

The first serve saves one, while another clutch delivery sets up a shot that knocks the other away.

Swiatek gets the short ball on the third but drills a forehand into the net.

The rally of the match follows at deuce, where Iga earns a fourth chance with a wonderful forehand up the line.

Keys responds with a clutch serve and plus-one to turn the tables at deuce, before another scorcher of a forehand winner somehow sees her wriggle out of dodge.

Swiatek must now hold to stay in the tournament.
