Once again, the women's final of the 2025 Australian Open will be a must-watch for many reasons. Aryna Sabalenka will aim to defend her title, seeking to secure her dominance in one of her favorite territories. On the other hand, Madison Keys will strive to showcase her tennis skills and claim her first Grand Slam title. Both players exhibit a similar playing style but lead different paths. While Sabalenka is considered the favorite, nothing is certain in a Grand Slam final. Who will emerge victorious in Melbourne?

Analysis of the 2025 Australian Open women's final

As usual, let's review how both players have fared in this tournament, a crucial factor for the upcoming match. Starting with the world No. 1, Aryna Sabalenka. The Belarusian has only dropped a single set, to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the quarterfinals. Her flawless run has been notable, defeating Stephens, Bouzas, Tauson, Andreeva, Pavlyuchenkova, and Badosa. Her match against the Spanish player possibly carried the most emotional weight due to their close relationship, but it didn't affect her performance.

On the other side, we have Madison Keys, who had a more challenging path to reach her second Grand Slam final. The American defeated Li, Elena Gabriel Ruse, Collins, Rybakina, Svitolina, and Swiatek. Looking at this list, it's clear that Keys faced tough opponents, especially in her recent matches. Her victory over the world No. 2 was particularly impressive, staging a comeback against the Polish player. Now she aims to finish strong by defeating the world No. 1.

H2H and tactical keys

Before delving into the tactical analysis of this showdown, it's crucial to look at their head-to-head record. As anticipated, Sabalenka leads with 4 wins to 1, with her most recent victory against Keys in Beijing last year. However, Sabalenka has found it challenging to defeat Keys, especially in their last two hardcourt encounters. The American presents a formidable challenge due to her aggressive style of play, similar to her opponent's. What will decide the outcome of this match?
