Sabalenka vs Keys live streams

Aryna Sabalenka and Madison Keys face off in the Rod Laver Arena on Saturday in the 2025 women's Australian Open final. It will start at 7.30pm local time (that's 3.30am ET / 12.30am PT in the US and 8.30am GMT in the UK). The Australian Open is FREE to watch on 9Now in Australia and you can use a VPN to watch Sabalenka vs Keys live streams from anywhere if you're away.

It's been over 25 years since any woman has won the Australian Open three times in a row (Martina Hingis, if you're asking), but Sabalenka has the chance to do exactly that when she takes to the court on Saturday.

It's been yet another stellar tournament for the Belarusian, dropping just one set on her way through to the final. She eased past Paula Badosa in the semis, to set up a prime opportunity to reinforce her place at the apex of the world rankings.

It will take some performance from Madison Keys to stop her. But that's exactly what the 29-year-old Floridian produced in her semi-final against the red hot Iga Swiatek. Having also beaten Elena Rybakina, Elina Svitolina and Danielle Collins on her way here, you certainly can't accuse Keys of doing things the easy way.

That's earned her a first Grand Slam final for eight years. With such a competitive women's field, the American will no doubt be desperate to take this golden chance in Melbourne.

The Sabalenka vs Keys live stream is free to watch on 9Now in Australia. Below you'll discover how to watch Australian Open 2025 from anywhere if you're away from home.
