Australian Open champion's husband, Bjorn Fratangelo, began coaching her in 2023 and the pair wed in November 2024
Professional tennis players are generally well-accustomed to traveling with an excess amount of luggage, but boarding a flight with a grand slam trophy was a new experience for Madison Keys.
March 2, the ATX Open Austin is an Entry List that perhaps comes under fire more for who can't be in it as Jessica Pegula leads but without the star power of Madison Keys also.
The event will feature eight star-studded pairings competing in a fast-paced mixed doubles format on the eve of BNP Paribas Open main draw play.
What is your take on another option on the best-of-five Grand Slam matches for men: best three out of four sets and if the match is tied 2–2 then use the 10-point tiebreaker. Same ending as if it's five sets without having to play a fifth set.
The newlywed Keys, whose husband and coach is former American tennis player Bjorn Fratangelo, said after some much needed sleep, they'll be "back to work on Monday" to prepare for "lots of tournaments" including the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells and the Miami Open back to back in March.
Australian Open champion Madison Keys credits therapy with helping her understand herself, and that helped her become a better tennis player.
Madison Keys says she kept telling herself to be brave down the stretch of a tight third set in the Australian Open final against two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka.
Madison Keys’ Grand Slam window wasn’t just closing. It had been slammed shut. She has always been an excellent player, but it felt like women’s tennis had passed her by. Far from her peak in 2017, when she was ranked No.
Keys, ranked 14th and seeded 19th, prevented Sabalenka from earning what would have been her third women's trophy in a row at the Australian Open — something last accomplished by Martina Hingis from 1997-99 — and her fourth major title overall.
The American discussed the importance of 'being honest' and 'getting help' to finally overcome the biggest hurdle of her career.
With women’s tennis on the verge of an epic showdown between its top two players with the Australian Open title on the line, Keys, the 29-year-old American, crashed the party. She stormed back against Iga Swiatek to win their semifinal 5-7, 6-1, 7-6 (10-8).
