- No 2 seed brushes aside Emma Navarro 6-1, 6-2 in 89 minutes
- Keys beats Elina Svitolina 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to continue winning streak
Iga Swiatek and Madison Keys will battle for a spot in the Australian Open final after the Polish No 2 seed dismantled the eighth seed Emma Navarro 6-1, 6-2 to continue her dominant run in Melbourne. Earlier on Wednesday, Keys maintained her own excellent form at the start of the season with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over 27th seed Elina Svitolina.
