MELBOURNE, Australia — Not that Iga Swiatek needs the help during her dominant run through the Australian Open so far, but she did get the benefit of a no-call when she failed to reach a ball hit by her opponent Emma Navarro before it bounced twice. The episode in the quarterfinals Wednesday renewed the debate over the use of video reviews in tennis. The No. 2-seeded Swiatek's 6-1, 6-2 victory was not much in doubt — she's ceded a total of just 14 games through five matches heading into Thursday night's semifinals against Madison Keys — although the score was still 2-all against Navarro when the point drawing a lot of attention happened.
