Sabalenka vs Keys live stream: how to watch Australian Open 2025 women’s final online and for free
The American aims to upset the two-time defending champion
The Aryna Sabalenka vs Madison Keys live stream is a fascinating Australian Open final between the top seed and a player chasing their first-ever Grand Slam title. Below we have all the information on how to watch Sabalenka vs Keys tennis from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and FREE streams.
Sabalenka has been untouchable on the hard courts in Melbourne for the last three years and has now won 20 straight matches at the Australian Open. The Belarusian is yet to lose a match this year and is now one win away from becoming the first woman to win three Australian Open titles in a row since Martina Hingis from 1997 to 1999. She will start as a heavy favorite in Saturday’s final but will expect a stern examination of her game against a player who is also 11-0 in 2025.
Keys won her ninth WTA Tour title two weeks ago in Adelaide and has carried that form into the first slam of the year. The American, who reached the US Open final in 2017, has come through some tough tests at Melbourne Park, surviving match points in her semi-final clash with Iga Swiatek.
Aiming to become the fourth player this decade to overcome the world number one and two at the same tournament, she trails Sabalenka 4-1 in head-to-head meetings. All four of these defeats also came on hard courts. Can she turn it around this time?
