Madison Keys will play in the fifth Grand Slam semifinal of her career thanks to her two-set victory over Barbora Krejcikova. The American will face Ashleigh Barty, who has only two games left for Jessica Pegula, for a place in the final

And ten! Madison Keys won her tenth straight game on Tuesday, and here she is in the last square of the Australian Open! Winner of the Adelaide Preparatory Tournament, the soon-to-be 27-year-old American is in top form and she showed it again by eliminating the winner of the last Roland Garros and world No. 4 Barbora Krejcikova, which she faced for the first time. times. Keys prevailed 6-3, 6-2 in 1:24 after a perfectly controlled match despite the stifling heat, which d elsewhere caused a small discomfort for the Czech at the end of the first set. Author of 11 aces and 72% of first balls, she left no chance to the Czech. In the first set, the world No. 51 broke 3-2 on his seventh inning of the inning, and then did not tremble in the following games to conclude. In the second, she quickly led 3-0, then Krejcikova managed to clear one of her two late breaks (1-3), but at 4-2, Keys again took the opposing serve for the take away. So she has a second semi-final in Melbourne, seven years after the first (eliminated by Serena Williams in 2015) and the fifth overall in the Grand Slam. This victory, which comes after those against Sofia Kenin and Paula Badosa in particular, will allow him to regain the Top 30 (she was world No. 7 in October 2016) and face Ashleigh Barty (who beat twice out of three)

Barty unfolds

The Australian, in front of her audience, did not give in to the pressure, and here she is in the semi-finals in Melbourne for the second time in her career, after 2020 ( eliminated by Sofia Kenin) Opposed to world No. 21 Jessica Pegula, the WTA Queen won 6-2, 6-0 in 1:03 the only break point the American got, as she was already leading 3-1 in the first set. Not disturbed, she ended up winning this game and then managed another 4-2 break to pocket the inning. In the second, it was even easier for her, with three successful breaks on six occasions, and only four points lost on her play. A health walk for the world No. 1 against a powerless Pegula, who only managed 7 winning shots in this match (17 for Barty). On Thursday, the Australian will have the opportunity to qualify for her first home final. His choice to end his 2021 season at the US Open to return home earlier and prepare for this first Grand Slam of the year has paid off for the time being.
