Madison Keys started playing tennis professionally in 2009, aged just 14. Keys won her first match at the age of 14 years and 48 days and was the youngest player to win a tour-level match since Swiss legend Martina Hingis in 1994. In the same year, she also defeated Serena Williams in an exhibition match.

In the next few years, Keys continued the promise she showed during her debut and was a consistent performer at Slams, while also winning numerous titles at the WTA level.

The American had a dismal 2021 season, she missed the Australian Open after she tested positive for COVID-19, struggled with form and fitness throughout the year, and finished the season ranked World No.56. It was the first time since 2012 that Keys finished the year-end out of the top-50 of the WTA rankings.

Her 2022 season has been quite the turnaround. She won the warm-up tournament at WTA Adelaide International 2, which was her first WTA title in 3 years. She continued this momentum to the Australian Open, where she stunned former champion Sofia Kenin in straight sets in the first round. She then breezed past 6th seed Paula Badosa in the fourth round and 4th seed Barbora Krejcikova in the next round, to advance to the semifinals at the Melbourne Major. This was the American’s first semi-final appearance at the Australian Open since 2015.
