Madison Keys’ remarkable victory at the 2025 Australian Open has drawn widespread acclaim, including from tennis legend Serena Williams. Keys secured her first Grand Slam title by defeating defending champion Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 2-6, 7-5, becoming the first woman since Williams in 2005 to overcome both the World No. 1 and No. 2 players en route to the Australian Open title.
Williams, who has been a significant influence on Keys’ career, expressed her admiration for the 29-year-old’s perseverance and success. Reflecting on their 2015 Australian Open semifinal, Keys described the experience of playing against her idol as “incredible.”
Keys’ journey to this milestone was marked by resilience, having competed in 46 Grand Slam tournaments before clinching her first major title. Her emotional reaction upon winning underscored the significance of this achievement in her career.
This victory not only highlights Keys’ dedication but also cements her place in tennis history, following in the footsteps of champions like Serena Williams.
