The tiebreak finished at 18-16 and the Italians were fired up!

Aryna Sabalenka had to take a moment to compose herself after her loss to Madison Keys in the Australian Open final.

She walked up the tunnel after furiously smashing her racquet and returned for her runner up speech.

Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori are up against Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten in the men's doubles final.

And there's been a moment of controversy.

The Italian duo thought they had set point. However, Heliovaara reviewed the shot, believing Vavassori hit the ball before it went over the net.

John Millman explained the whole of the ball needs to be over before it can be hit.

The umpire confirmed contact was made on the other side of the net and the shot was not legal.

Vavassori was not convinced, saying the ball was on his side.

"What an eagle-eyed decision from Heliovaara to ask for that review," Brenton Speed said on Nine.

The rival duo of Heliovaara and Patten then broke the serve of the Italians.

Millman described it as a "simply extraordinary turn of events".

"I didn't see conclusive evidence ... but at that stage of the match that could have huge implications," he said.

Before the final started, a stat relating to US presidents was brought up on Nine's coverage.

In this century, every time a new president is sworn into office in the USA when the Australian Open is happening, an American woman has won the Australian Open.

In 2001, when George W Bush won, it was Jennifer Capriati.

In 2009, when Barack Obama was sworn in, Serena Williams won.

Williams won again in 2017 when Trump was elected.

And now in 2025, Keys is the winner after Trump's win.

She didn't find it that intriguing though.

"That's really weird," she said on Nine.

"I mean, go me for continuing it but that's weird."

Melbourne vs Sydney.

Where is the best coffee? The debate flared up when Iga Swiatek said Sydney had better coffee.

But Keys was staying on the fence when James Bracey asked her about three titles she has in Australia.

"I think it's the coffee," she pointed as the reason behind her success.

"It's great nationwide."

But Keys can't wait to get back and do her own coffee.

"I'm honestly so excited to go back home and make my own coffee," she said.

MELBOURNE: Madison Keys was true to her word.
