Iga Swiatek dominates Emma Navarro, reaches Australian Open semifinals

Iga Swiatek continued her dominant performance at the Australian Open 2025, defeating No. 8 seed Emma Navarro 6-1, 6-2 in the quarterfinals without dropping a set throughout the tournament and conceding only 14 games. Swiatek, aiming for her first title in Melbourne and sixth Grand Slam overall, expressed her satisfaction with reaching the semifinals and will face American Madison Keys next, who advanced after defeating Elina Svitolina. Despite the loss, Navarro showcased her resilience by reaching the quarterfinals for the third consecutive Grand Slam, having previously triumphed in several grueling matches. Swiatek’s previous encounter with Navarro resulted in a straight-sets victory in 2018, and her current form has been impressive, following a strong start to the season. The semifinals are set for January 23, with Swiatek looking to capitalize on her momentum against Keys, who is on a 10-match winning streak. This matchup marks a significant moment for both players as they strive for a spot in the final.
