World number 1 Ashleigh Barty qualified for her first Australian Open final on Thursday January 27 by unceremoniously dismissing American Madison Keys (51st) 6-1, 6-3 in 62 minutes. The 25-year-old Australian, holder of two Grand Slam titles (Roland-Garros 2019 and Wimbledon 2021), will try on Saturday to finally win “her” Major, against the Polish Iga Swiatek (9th) or the American Danielle Collins (30th).
