The Madison Keys who will play two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka for the title at the Australian Open on Saturday night is not the same Madison Keys who was the runner-up at the U.S.

An American woman is a champion once again. After having to face the two best players in the world -- Iga Switaek and Aryna Sabalenka -- Madison Keys has claimed her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open. Keys outlasted Sabalenka in the final on Saturday over three sets to accomplish the feat.

Madison Keys played brave and accurate tennis when she needed it most, powering to a 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 victory for her first Grand Slam title.

Madison Keys wrote three short words on the camera lens after her victory against Iga Świątek at the Australian Open: “Oh my god.”

Why is everyone so angry at what long has been known as the Happy Slam? Things are a little out of control at the Australian Open this year, and that’s got only a little to do with the results on the courts.

Madison Keys stunned the tennis world when she overcame World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in the Australian Open final. Sabalenka was chasing history at Melbourne Park as she was bidding to become the first player since Martina Hingis to achieve a three-peat in the tournament.

Madison Keys and her husband and coach Bjorn Fratengelo, shed tears of joy after her breakthrough Australian Open triumph.

Sabalenka bids to become the first woman to win three consecutive Australian Open singles titles since Martina Hingis from 1997-99. The Belarusian has won her last 20 matches in hard-court Slams (Australian Open and U.S. Open) dating to the start of 2024.

Perhaps they remember her from Junior Orange Bowl tournaments at Salvadore Park and Biltmore Tennis Center in Coral Gables, or from the Crandon Park Tennis Center in Key Biscayne, where 5-foot-10 Keys dazzled spectators with her 114 mph serve as a 14-year-old in the Orange Bowl Under-18s division.
