The duo then claimed a hard-fought 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-3 comeback win over Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider to advance to the final.

Taylor Townsend celebrated her and Katerina Siniakova's run to the title clash with endearing pictures of time together. The duo will battle it out against No. 3 seeds Jelena Ostapenko and Hsieh Su-wei in a blockbuster clash for the Australian Open title.

""Finals 🦋🇦🇺,"" Townsend captioned her Instagram post.

Alongside Taylor Townsend, Jessica Pegula has also displayed her support for Madison Keys, who has reached the singles final at the 2025 Australian Open. In a thrilling semifinal clash, Keys fended off a match point and claimed a hard-fought 5-7, 6-1, 7-6(8) win over Iga Swiatek to advance to the title clash.

Jessica Pegula sent her love to the 29-year-old after her impressive victory, signaling her pride with two emojis.

"🥲🥰," Pegula posted on X.

The World No. 6 also endorsed tennis journalist Scott Barclay's sly dig at the critics of women's tennis after Keys and Swiatek's "epic" semifinal clash at the Melbourne Slam.

"When an epic women's match like that happens, do the people who say women's tennis isn't good just, like... pretend it didn't happen?" Barclay wrote.

"🗣," Pegula commented.

Pegula will be cheering for Madison Keys in the Australian Open final, as the 29-year-old squares off against top seed and two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka for a shot at her maiden Grand Slam title.
