We’ve reached the pointy end of the Australian Open. 

Aryna Sabalenka will meet American Madison Keys in the final of the Australian tennis Open women's draw on Saturday, Keys eliminating Iga Swiatek in dramatic circumstances. 

The men’s semifinals play out this evening, their championship taking place Sunday. 

Australian Open Commentator Craig Gabriel told Ryan Bridge that it was an extraordinary clash between Swiatek and Keys, with Swiatek the favourite to continue through to the finals. 

Keys saved a match point, Gabriel said, and the game went the complete other way than expected.
