Americans Madison Keys and Danielle Rose Collins will go head-to-head on Saturday with the winner marching on to the fourth round of the 2025 Australian Open. Keys, a two-time Australian Open semifinalist, is coming off a thrilling 7-6(1) 2-6 7-5 win over Elena Gabriela Ruse of Romania in the second round. The reigning Adelaide International champion leaned on her experience to withstand a serious upset bid from Ruse, who forced a decider after putting on a dominant show in the second set. Keys converted two crucial break points in the third set, including the one at match points, to secure the hard-earned victory. After shelving her retirement plans, Collins has made his return to the round of 32 after hacking out a 7-6(4) 4-6 6-2 win over Destanee Aiava of Australia. A seasoned campaigner on the WTA Tour, Collins came out stronger in the deciding set after failing to close out Aiava in the second frame. Collins collected 44 points off his first serves and created 13 break point chances of which she converted four.
