Madison Keys reaches the Australian Open semifinals with a win over Elina Svitolina
MELBOURNE, Australia — Madison Keys is back into the Australian Open semifinals for a third time after her 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win Wednesday over Elina Svitolina of Ukraine.
The 29-year-old Keys is on a 10-match winning streak after warming up for the year’s first major with a title at Adelaide, where she beat fellow American Jessica Pegula in the final.
Her run to the semifinals at Melbourne Park has included victories over two former Australian Open finalists — Danielle Collins and Elina Rybakina — in the third and fourth rounds.
Keys, the 2017 U.S. Open runner-up, next faces the winner of Wednesday’s later quarterfinal between five-time Grand Slam singles champion Iga Swiatek and No. 8 Emma Navarro.
