Australian Open 2025 on Channel 9: Day 12 – Back-to-back women’s singles semi finals will headline Australian Open Day 12, live and free on the 9Network from 7.00pm AEDT.
First up, friends will become foes when reigning champion Aryna Sabalenka meets Paula Badosa on Rod Laver Arena.
Sabalenka hasn’t shown any cracks in her title defence so far, while Badosa has returned from a career-threatening injury to find herself in a Grand Slam semi final showdown with the world no.1.
Storming her way into the second semi-final is world no.2 Iga Swiatek, who is yet to drop a set in her 2025 campaign as she chases her first Australian Open title.
Standing in her way is American Madison Keys, who is out to avenge her loss to Ash Barty in her last Australian Open semi final appearance back in 2022. Keys fought back from one set down in her quarterfinal and now faces a tough task against Swiatek.
The Morning Serve is live from 10.30am AEDT to preview all the action on Day 12. Throughout the 2025 Australian Open, fans will have the ability to watch every point of every match, at any time live, free and on any device in HD on 9Now.
