Eight women remain in the 2025 Australian Open, and three of them are Americans.

That group of quarterfinalists is headlined by No. 3 seed Coco Gauff and includes No. 8 Emma Navarro and No. 19 Madison Keys.

Sofia Kenin in 2020 was the last American woman to hoist the trophy in Melbourne.

Gauff, 20, will look to continue her hot start to the season when she meets No. 11 Paula Badosa of Spain at 7:30 ET on Monday night.

ESPN’s Rennae Stubbs called Gauff the “equal” favorite to win the title entering the tournament.

“Clearly [two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka] has let everybody know she’s the favorite going in, but also Coco Gauff looks to me as equal as a favorite as I’ve seen in a Grand Slam for a while,” Stubbs said.

Gauff lost a set for the first time this season in her Round of 16 clash with 2021 Olympic gold medalist Belinda Bencic of Switzerland. But the American recovered to win in 2 hours, 26 minutes and improve to 9-0 in 2025.

Gauff is 3-3 against Badosa but the American won their two meetings last year.

Gauff is now a win away from making her second straight Australian Open semifinal, having lost to eventual champion Sabalenka in the final four last year.

No. 8 Navarro and No. 19 Keys both advanced to the quarters with victories a day after Gauff’s win.

Navarro held off No. 9 seed Daria Kasatkina 6-4, 5-7, 7-5 to advance to her third consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal.

Her reward?

Five-time major champion and No. 2 Iga Świątek, who has dropped just 11 games in her first four matches.

It will be their first match in nearly seven years, since the Pole beat the American 6-0, 6-2 at an ITF 80K in Charleston, South Carolina on green clay.

“When I look back at my tennis career, I feel like there were not too many times when I was totally blown off the court,” Navarro said, per the WTA, “and I definitely was kind of blown off the court playing her. We played at my home club in Charleston. I was, like, Wow, this girl is pretty good.

“Circumstances are definitely different now. I feel like I’m pretty good, too. I’m ready for a good challenge.”

The winner of the Świątek-Navarro match will face the winner between Keys and No. 28 Elina Svitolina in the semifinals.

Keys overcame 2023 Australian Open finalist Elena Rybakina 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 in 1 hour, 49 minutes, moving ahead 3-2 in their head-to-head. Keys is now a win away from reaching her third Australian Open semifinal, having made the final four in 2015 and 2022.

“Obviously pretty good first set, and I think I finished the third set really well,” Keys said in press. “There are some things that I can take and learn from the middle of the match, but overall, really happy with how I was able to finish and close out that match.”

Svitolina, whose husband Gael Monfils upset No. 4 Taylor Fritz before falling to another American, Ben Shelton, in a walkover in the fourth set, came back from a double-break down in the first set to roll past Veronika Kudermetova 6-4, 6-1 in Rod Laver Arena on Monday.

Keys has a narrow 3-2 head-to-head lead over Svitolina. Their most recent meeting came nearly three years ago in Adelaide when Keys beat Svitolina in the first round of the WTA 250 event in 2022, then went all the way to the title.
