However, she encountered an inspired Madison Keys, who ultimately ended her run.

During the match, Swiatek held a double break lead in the third set and even had a match point at 6-5, but Keys prevailed in the tiebreak to secure her spot in the final and eventually claim the title.

“🐨Australia 2025: a great, solid time. More satisfaction, colors, good experiences,” Swiatek posted. “Although of course there is an insufficiency related to the result itself, looking realistically we see and know what a good job we did. Time for the Middle East Swing project - see you soon.”

Diego Schwartzman returns to training ahead of farewell at Argentina Open

Madison Keys celebrates Australian Open title as a ‘perfect early birthday gift’

Madison Keys appeared in an interview celebrating her "early birthday" after claiming the Australian Open title. The American, who defeated two-time defending champion and World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the final, turns 30 on February 17 and was asked if the Australian trophy was an early birthday present.

“I wasn’t planning on it being my early birthday present, but this is a pretty good one to give to myself,” said the World No. 7 regarding her Australian triumph.

When asked about her favourite aspect of tennis, Keys reflected: “You get to learn so much about yourself. It’s constantly changing, and it kind of forces you to also change and adapt. And I think it makes you try to be the best version of yourself.”

Keys will take a couple of weeks off before returning to the courts at the WTA 1000 Doha Open, where she will be the 7th seed in a draw featuring the entire top 10, led by Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, and Coco Gauff. Keys is currently riding a career-best 12-0 winning streak to start the season.

The American No. 3 shared a selfie on her Instagram stories, smiling next to a promotional poster from her sponsor Nike featuring her right after winning the Australian Open title. Keys stars in a new campaign following her remarkable triumph in Australia, with the tagline: "It doesn’t happen overnight. Until it does."
