Iga Swiatek sent a congratulatory message to Madison Keys in the aftermath of the American’s remarkable win over the Pole in the women’s singles semifinals of the 2025 Australian Open. The former No. 1 also wished Keys luck for the final against current top-ranked women’s singles star Aryna Sabalenka, who also happens to be the two-time defending Australian Open champion.
Following Madison Keys’ 5-7, 6-1, 7-6(8) win over Iga Swiatek on Thursday, the American took to X (formerly Twitter) and shared a post to celebrate her victory. The post featured a picture of an ecstatic Keys in the immediate aftermath of the match and the caption:
“Finals @AustralianOpen”
On Friday, Iga Swiatek responded to the post and congratulated Madison Keys on her stellar semifinal performance and encouraged the American to give it her all in the final.
@Madison_Keys @AustralianOpen Huge congratulations. You played amazing. All the best,” Swiatek wrote.
The 2025 Australian Open women’s singles final will mark the second Major final to be contested by Madison Keys. She had also reached the last hurdle at the 2017 US Open before losing to Sloane Stephens.
Meanwhile, at a post-match press conference, Swiatek expressed that she couldn’t have done any more on her part to try and come out on top against Keys.
