Ash Barty has delivered another serving masterclass to sweep past Madison Keys in straight sets and become the first home hope to reach the Australian Open women's singles final in 42 years.
The world No.1 and dual grand slam champion crushed Keys 6-1 6-3 in 62 minutes on Thursday night to bury the demons of her shattering 2020 semi-final defeat to fellow American Sofia Kenin.
