Madison Keys and Karolina Pliskova secured their final spots at the 2020 Brisbane International after breathtaking semifinals.
The fifth-seeded Petra Kvitova and no. 8 in Brisbane, Madison Keys kicked-off the semifinals in Australia. The Czech player entered the semifinal match better when Kvitova has won the first set 6-3 and led 2-0 in the second.
However, Keys managed to win 7 games in a row to win the second set 6-2 and gain 1-0 lead in the third. She then went on and won also the third set 6-3 to book the place in the final.
In the second match in Brisbane, there was a lot to watch as spectators received almost 3 hours of quality tennis. Naomi Osaka has won the first set in a tie-break 12-10 after converting the fifth set point.
In the second set, it was Pliskova who hold her nerves, turned away the matchpoint in the 12th game and converted the first setpoint in the tie-break to win it 7-3. The last set was more-less dominated by the Czech player when she grabbed a 6-2 victory and the place in the final.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
