An American woman is a champion once again. After having to face the two best players in the world -- Iga Switaek and Aryna Sabalenka -- Madison Keys has claimed her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open. Keys outlasted Sabalenka in the final on Saturday over three sets to accomplish the feat.

Australian Open runner-up Aryna Sabalenka could be facing a big fine for her post-match reaction in the final. And Novak Djokovic has been called out for posting his injury scans at a time when the tennis world was celebrating Madison Keys' maiden grand slam triumph.

Madison Keys turned pro in 2009 and had to wait for more than a decade to lift her first Grand Slam title. Alexander Zverev turned pro in 2013, and now he too has a chance to fulfill his Grand Slam dream.

Novak Djokovic had quite the reaction to beating Carlos Alcaraz in the 2025 Australian Open quarterfinals on Tuesday.

Her opponent, Keys, also last reached the semi-finals in 2022 but was beaten by Ashleigh Barty who went on to win the tournament. Keys’s previous two outing saw her battle past Elena Rybakina in the fourth round then Elina Svitolina in the quarters. The American has had a tougher run but is a wiley competitior and should give Swiatek some trouble.

Goran Ivanisevic’s brief stint as 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina’s coach is over now that she is out of the Australian Open.
