The second week of the season saw some changes to the WTA Rankings ahead of the 2025 Australian Open with the Adelaide International and Hobart International providing moves for Madison Keys, Maya Joint and McCartney Kessler.

Swiatek will face No. 19 Madison Keys of the USA on Thursday night for a berth in the final. The other women’s semi-final is No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, the two-time defending champion, against her good friend, No. 11 Paula Badosa.

Her opponent, Keys, also last reached the semi-finals in 2022 but was beaten by Ashleigh Barty who went on to win the tournament. Keys’s previous two outing saw her battle past Elena Rybakina in the fourth round then Elina Svitolina in the quarters. The American has had a tougher run but is a wiley competitior and should give Swiatek some trouble.

Iga Swiatek is dominating her Australian Open opponents the way no one has at Melbourne Park since Maria Sharapova in 2013. Swiatek’s latest lopsided win came via a 6-1, 6-2 score in the quarterfinals against No.
