After Madison Keys won at the Australian Open, her win was enhanced by the support and love from close friends – an outpouring not just from fans but also players in her tennis community – including Frances Tiafoe who added her unique sense of humor by sending Keys a celebratory text message with some cheeky jokes attached!
Madison Keys made history at Rod Laver Arena by defeating Aryna Sabalenka after two hours of an exhausting final match, enhanced by her friends like Tiafoe’s amusingly boastful Instagram story message which suggested Tiafoe may take credit for Keys’ victory and hinted towards pre-tournament agreements between themselves and Madison.
The backstory to this pact is quite interesting. Before the tournament, Keys had asked Tiafoe not to send her any messages during the Australian Open, based on a superstition she harbored from their past interactions. According to Keys, whenever Tiafoe messaged her during a tournament, she would end up losing in the following round. Tiafoe respected this request and only reached out after Keys clinched the title, humorously implying his silence had a part in her success.
Celebrations and Support From the Tennis Community
Madison Keys’ dedication and hard work paid off when she conquered top-ranked opponents to finally realize a dream she’d held onto for so long – winning the Grand Slam a feat which had long eluded her. Coco Gauff and Ben Shelton offered their congratulations; each message underscoring American tennis players’ strong camaraderie as they celebrated Key’s win and felt pride for what had been accomplished together as one group.
Jessica Pegula also joined in celebrating Keys’ success, echoing sentiments shared across tennis circles about her deserving success. With each passing month and Keys’ compatriots rallying behind each other to achieve further goals backed up by support and good will from fans, American players appear poised for further wins to delight. Fans can look forward to witnessing further American glory ahead!
