Madison Keys has charged into the Australian Open final and will meet two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka in Saturday’s championship (3 a.m. ET, ESPN).

The Belarusian has been unbeatable in Melbourne for years, but she's running into in absolute buzzsaw.

American Madison Keys will seek her first Grand Slam title after upsetting No. 2 seed Iga Swiatek in the Australian Open semifinals.

Veteran Madison Keys took down No. 2 seed Iga Swiatek in a thrilling three-set match (5-7, 6-1, 7-6(8)) in the Australian Open semifinal on Thursday to advance to just the second Grand Slam final of her career.

Keys saved a match point before winning in a final set tie-break while Sabalenka saw off close friend Paula Badosa.

American Madison Keys beat No. 2 seeded Iga Swiatek in a thrilling 5-7, 6-1, 7-6(8) victory in the semifinals, defeating Swiatek in two hours and 38 minutes to advance to her first Australian Open final.

What this final lacks in historic significance, it could make up for in sheer ball-striking bravado between two of the biggest hitters the game has ever seen.

The Madison Keys who will play two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka for the title at the Australian Open is not the same players who was the runner-up at the U.S. Open in 2017.

Sabalenka has the chance to become the first player in 26 years to win three Australian Open women’s singles titles in a row
