In her Saturday Australian Open match, Keys faced defending two-time champion and world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. After the match, she reflected on how, as a younger player, she would have felt a heavy burden if she hadn’t won a Grand Slam.
“I have wanted this for so long and I have been in a grand slam final before, it did not go my way,” Keys said. “I didn’t know if I was going to be able to get back to this position to try and win a trophy again and my team believed in me every step of the way, so thank you so much.”
She will match a career-high No. 7 when the new ATP rankings are released on Monday.

After her victory on Saturday, Jan. 25, Keys said, “They believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself and helped me every step of the way. Last year was so tough with some really bad injuries and I didn’t know if I was going to be able to do it again and to be here and have this trophy and also be able to do it with my husband, who is kind of dazed and confused over there. I love you all so much and I cannot wait for more.”
