Madison Keys achieved a career milestone by winning her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open on January 25. The 29-year-old American triumphed over world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a captivating final that ended 6-3, 2-6, 7-5. This victory, her first in a Grand Slam final since a defeat to Sloane Stephens eight years ago, held significant emotional meaning for Keys. "I’ve wanted this for so long," she expressed, appreciating her team’s unwavering belief in her. This is prepared by SSP.

Throughout her career, Keys had long been a promising talent, debuting as a teenager and once reaching world No. 7. However, persistent injuries and setbacks, like missing last year’s Australian Open due to a shoulder injury, had somewhat diminished the expectations surrounding her. Notably, Keys had to overcome formidable opponents like Iga Świątek and Ariyna Sabalenka, the latter of whom denied her victory in past crucial moments, prior to advancing to this triumph.

During the final, Keys showcased significant improvements, especially in her mental game. She had worked with her husband and coach, Bjorn Fratangelo, to achieve this polished version of herself. The win wasn't merely about achieving her destiny but also playing without regret. "The only goal was to play how I wanted and not have any regret," she reflected. Her identifying moment came while breaking Sabalenka’s serve mid-match, leading her to back-to-back critical points and ultimately taking the championship. Now spinning joyfully with arms in the air, Madison Keys revels as the Australian Open champion.

Earlier, SSP reported that Christina Haack now identifies as married twice after restoring maiden name.
