Madison Keys wins Australian Open the ‘hard way’ to claim first Grand Slam title

Advertisements

Keys’ success is all the more impressive considering her injury woes in 2024.

The 29-year-old missed last year’s Australian Open with a shoulder injury before a hamstring problem ended her Wimbledon run in the fourth round.

Determined to keep competing, Keys – on the advice of her coach and now husband Bjorn Fratangelo – decided to make a change.

Fratangelo convinced her to switch her Wilson racquets for Japanese brand Yonex – a swap he thought would limit her injuries.

“I have no idea why I like this racquet, what it does, like, all the specifics of it. I just knew when I picked it up, it felt really good, and that was the winner,” Keys told Bounces on Tuesday., external

And just before the pair got married in November, Fratangelo dragged a “kicking and screaming” Keys into reworking her service motion.

“If you are going to rip things apart, you might as well rip everything apart, right?” she said.
