Those who know tennis know this was Iga's first real test in her draw. Madison has come close to winning a few slams, and I am incredibly happy for her. US Open final loss, and US open Semi-final loss, and I am so glad she has a chance to lift that Trophy and Hope she does. Well done.
Iga's success is only because of a very weak level of WTA. So happy for Maddie, she never really believed in herself...but finally playing to her true potential.
@@airysm I think everyone gave Iga this win before and during the match. Let's see what Saturday brings... No one gave Coco the win at WTA finals or United Cup against Iga or Sabalenka. Sometimes it really comes down to playing styles and surfaces not necessarily rankings.
@@Fangenstein For me it's never about what country a player is from. Madison has been a beautiful ball striker that has struggled with the stressors of the tour and so many expectations never met. May this be her redemption miment. Just a wonderful gal.
@@denongamco1992 Man!!!! Yawl are bringn duh stats!!!!! What an awesome major ru for Keys!!!!! So happy for her… finally her time has come! Win or lose!!!!
@@calebrandall6154 - As if Keys doesn't lose her head ... lol During this match also Keys sprayed it around all over.. There was a game in 1st set when she hit all 4 returns on the Swiatek serve long ( and you know how lethal it is.. lol) - Just that Swiatek struggles against big hitters as time is taken away from her huge backswing and is rushed. Keys played the big points better though definitely which was very surprising
@@calebrandall6154 Keys definitely has a chance against Sabalenka who does have a problem with her composure if she gets behind. Keys has to really take the game to her and upset her rhythm. I think Keys matches up very well against her. I’m just a little bit worried about her recovery after such a grueling match and also all the other matches she’s played so far this year. Sabalenka is quite rested by comparison. How fast and how much Keys can recover in the next day and a half will really be the key( no pun intended) for her chances against Sabalenka.
@@seanboulderformerlymel3000 lolz when the 75 sq in rackets were made of wood and passing shots within an inch of a line were nearly impossible? There's a reason these strategies are old. Only the serve & volley technique of Edberg - where the 1st volley is consistently taken inside the service line - would have a chance against today's fearsome power game. In my (perhaps not so) humble opinion anyway.
Keys has one of the bigger forehand in the women's game, she just needs more confidence. Look it up. I just hope for a good match,sabalenka didn't do much to get there ,she played no one,look at what madison has to do to get there. I like both players ,but I am hoping madison wins this one. Let's go madison 👍💪💪
@@yiuyu401 I agree with you about Madison Keys’ forehand-it’s undoubtedly one of the biggest weapons in women’s tennis. Confidence really makes all the difference for her, and when she’s at her best, she’s nearly unstoppable. However, when comparing her to Aryna Sabalenka, it’s essential to highlight the qualities that make her one of the top players on the circuit today. Sabalenka not only has an incredibly powerful forehand-the strongest at the 2024 US Open, with an impressive average speed of 129 km/h, even surpassing Carlos Alcaraz-but also shows solid mental strength and remarkable resilience. Even in challenging situations, she remains composed and finds ways to turn the match in her favor. Today’s match against Paula Badosa is a perfect example. Sabalenka started the set behind, losing the first two games, but quickly adjusted, raised her intensity, and regained control of the match. Her ability to stay calm, trust her game, and apply pressure at the right moments was crucial in winning the set despite the early setback. This recovery ability underscores why she’s so highly regarded in the tennis world. As for the matchup with Madison Keys, while it’s true Madison faced tougher opponents to get here, Sabalenka has demonstrated consistency and a winning mentality throughout the tournament. With her power, resilience, and adaptability, she’s always a dangerous opponent. This match promises to be thrilling, with both players bringing their best styles to the court. May the best player win!
As an American, I could not be happier or more proud of Madison Keys. She has had a career tournament down under this year and I pray she wins the title.
It was at this tournament (2015 semi's) when she played Serena, I said "She's GOOD!" She's got a BIG game! Big serve; big forehand and putting it all together. I actually thought her best chance to win a major would be at Wimby. She still can, I believe.
Well tbf, Madison hasn't 'won it all' yet... She just won her semi-final to make the final vs. The defending 2time Aussie Champ in Sabalenka. Hope it's an epic match
@mmgnpodcast fair enough, lol. Yeh I think it's the best match of the tournament so far unless the men's or ladies finals surpass that. Lots of stakes was on the line for Madison & Iga. Felt bad for Iga as she walked in the tunnel- saw the pain on her face. But I really do want Maddi to *WIN IT ALL FOR REAL NOW!* 🤣
I've been following Madison Keys for 11+ years now. Very accomplished but has never won a Major. One of the most well-liked players on the WTA by her peers. Her encore demeanor is very professional and respectful. Would love to see her break through and get 1 major (like her buddy Sloane Stephens). I'm glad she's playing world #1 Aryna Sabalenka because if she wins... Victory will taste oh so much sweeter. "The best situation is to beat the best at their best.". Go Maddie!. 🙏🙏🙏
At the Indian Wells Tournament a few years back my wife and I took our two granddaughters to watch some of the matches. We were at Maddy Keys' practice session. Our granddaughters hung around for autographs and Maddy could not possibly have been any kinder. She signed autographs, chatted, and took pictures with our girls. It was totally inspiring for them. Since then, Madison has been our favorite women's pro. Go MADDY!!! Lots of love from California!
Match of the year. Congrats to Keys. But what a fighter Iga is. Faster hard courts are not her favourite surface but giving everything till the end. Most Iga’s 3 sets matches are giving core memories for tennis fans. I think this is the best, Iga has performed in Faster hard courts, hope the best is yet to come.
@@ldbspg2385 Don’t give false information. Court speeds are same as last years but sometimes during low temperature, courts speed might look slow. Not every time. It’s common even previous year under lower temperature conditions.
Aussie courts are slow. They are notorious for longer rallies. At night time the ball will move faster with less heat. I'm sorry but what a fighter Keys is. No one expected her to win. She stuck in it and faced match point.
It's so good to see this performance from Keys. After her impressive 2015, Some of us thought we would be seeing this from her regularly. It's better late than never. Her mental strength has really improved. She would've easily imploded a few years ago. The next goal is to at least rise in to the top 5 or top 3 in the rankings. It is strange that a player with such weapons only has a career high ranking of 7. May the better player win on Saturday.
Honestly, if a tennis player is in the top 25, I don’t think ranking matters that much as long as they’re winning tournaments. Madison’s a seasoned player, and in this tournament, she looked relaxed and like she was just having fun playing. While all her opponents were worn out by the end, she still looked like she could go a few more sets.
Yes, an inconsistent career marred sometimes by injury. But she has always had the game. I hope she stays healthy, and I also hope she has kept something in the tank in reserve for Sabalenka. Beating Iga requires an expenditure of a lot of fuel. Go, Maddie!!!
Así es realmente, una Keys, que siempre yo pensaba que no tenía mucho interés en ganar, estos últimos meses venía demostrando mayor concentración y con ganas de llegar lejos, me alegro por Ella, que por fin con su grandioso tenis puede estar donde se proponga, me da pena que en ningún momento no haga cambios en su poderoso tenis, grandioso partido.
This is the difference between playing a quality experienced player and Iga’s other matches. Only her second seeded player in the whole tourney. They gave her a lightly seasoned draw. Congrats Madi on the win!!!🏆
All those easy matches cost Iga. Whenever she meets a tough opponent that can extend rallies Iga can begin to lose accuracy snd the mental errors can taje over.😮...Good on Madison for making the finals. Can she match Aryna?
Swiatek is not flashy but she is fast as hell, great footwork and one those "get everything back" players you hate to play.....Great victory for Maddie
The difference is that Keys is not trying to hit a winner on every shot. She is more willing to keep balls in play and more willing to work the point, before going for it. I hope she can win the title.
After a long long long time, a women's singles match that drew blood!! Serious blood! Felt like the Graf-Seles or the Williams-Sharapova rivalry! Iga Świątek was the favourite, but Madison Keys came out of syllabus! These girls played to the wire and played all out. Enjoyed the clash!
Wow, that is the best I've seen Madison Keys play, ever. Everything was working perfectly, from serve to forehand and backhand, and specially her return, never seen her return so well, just incredible. I hope she will be able to keep this level, if yes, we should have a great final on Saturday.
So, so thrilled for Madi. This feels like a breakthrough match in the context of her career, she's been fighting through her matches and has looked more controlled throughout this run than I've ever seen from her.
I am happy to see Madi got this . She is respectful and humble..❤❤ a sports person should keep that on the mind and practice that as well.. Madi was asked by a speaker person about a charity she leads, she said she and her team thrive to reach as many children as they could to give who does not have the opportunity to play tennis. 👏🏻👏🏻💕👍🏻 It would ne nice to see a change. Way to go Madi, I hope you get the trophy this time.
Keys is the kinda of a player when she is on “berserker” mode, she becomes unstoppable. Iga was playing splendid and keys played even better. I’m afraid sabalenka might not stand a chance if maddie doesn’t feel the pressure
Keys is a great ball striker. She bageled Sabalenka at USO then lost 2 tie breaks. She won 18 games to 12 and lost the match. If she can stay composed she can match Sabalenka's ground strokes
Lets gooooooooo Madi!!!!! AMAZING! She's always had the talent. I'm praying that she wins the final. She can absolutely win the title!! This will be one of the hardest hit finals EVER!!
Literally EVERYONE is happy and excited for Madison Keys!!! 😃 Those of us who have watched her career understand what she’s been through, and the difficult losses that she’s suffered to get back to this point. Madison for the 2025 AO title!!! 🎾🙏🏾🙌🏾🥰❤️
She placed the ball very well. Her only issue was backhand errors but there really weren’t even that many. Other than that her placement was great this match
Those two ladies was killing iy both were superb and truly brought the level needed for a semi-final but extra praise for Keys bcoz she dug deep and won one of the best if not the best female player and absolutely deserves this final,all I'm hoping for now is a fairytale ending let's go Madison Keys🔥🔥👏🏾
MK was trailing majority of the 3rd set tiebreaker but hung in there and played some of the clutchest points in the tournament. Well done and good luck in the finals!
This has been coming for Madison Keys. She has played well at AO the past few years only to fall to an eventual finalist or Semi-finalist. It's great to see a player that the USA tennis established wrote off after about 2019 put it all together her way. Newlywed and husband coach and new Yonex racket seems to be really working for her. It would be such a Cinderella story to see her lift the trophy, but even if Sabalenka prevails, this year's AO shows that Keys has returned to her true potential and is going to be a tough out for anyone as long as her health holds up.
For Swiatek to miss match point...well, Keys delivered ! So happy to see that she seems to have changed a couple of things in her game to be able to pull out such an upset ! Rooting for her against Sabalenka !☺️
Feel for Iga, my favorite, but Madison played amazing and wishing her all the very best!! Would be super tough against World No. 1, but may the best player win!! Iga will come again next year stronger!!
@@dbisamazing84 you were saying, she won adelaide before the AO win tonight. she won salty boi. foetal position, cry, have some milk. be a good boi. speak nice, be nice.
@@squidjames7735 This will be the only major achievement of yet another one slam wonder in the WTA. Good for her she kept her head together for entire tournament at the grand slam level
Ya Keys is her own worst enemy. Such a big game but shame she throws it away and crumbles at crucial times... Luckily she controlled and got through today
games like that are the reason why I always take an aspirin for my heart before I go to the court. Tennis is an incredible game. Could have gone either way. When you save a match point and win the match, well, who plays know the feeling.
The match clearly shows superiority of the fast flat balls over loopy spinning slower shots on fast courts, there is not enough time to react even for a fast player.
Mouthwatering AO Women's Singles Final. I wont be surprised if we witness another 3rd set tie breaker and a long haul match to decide the winner. My guess is Aryna is dangerous given her hard hitting, but Madison is a smart player. Saturday Blockbuster!
Those who know tennis know this was Iga's first real test in her draw. Madison has come close to winning a few slams, and I am incredibly happy for her. US Open final loss, and US open Semi-final loss, and I am so glad she has a chance to lift that Trophy and Hope she does. Well done.
Iga's success is only because of a very weak level of WTA. So happy for Maddie, she never really believed in herself...but finally playing to her true potential.
Well said🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
Always know she can do it….so proud now both Coco and Madison know how to beat Iga🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
@@mukoraka Iga is amazing on clay
@@airysm I think everyone gave Iga this win before and during the match. Let's see what Saturday brings... No one gave Coco the win at WTA finals or United Cup against Iga or Sabalenka. Sometimes it really comes down to playing styles and surfaces not necessarily rankings.
How crazy would it be for Maddie to take her first major beating #2 and #1 back to back? Rooting so hard for her

She will do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I can't say I'm shocked, I watched 4 or 5 Keys' matches this year and the way she won all them impressed me. Pretty dangerous for Sabalenka.
As long as she's not intimidated by Sabalenka's extremely loud grunts, she has a huge chance of defeating her.
@@HullioGQyou take a few games off sabalenka and she loses her head to easily and struggles to regain her composure. Certainly a winnable match

Hard to do when she has to hit the ball and then cover her ears to protect them from the grunts coming from the other side of the court. 🤷♂️
@@machinarum grow up kids
Ground noise far lower than the Tv microphone sound

It's great to see a player that the USA tennis established wrote off after about 2019 put it all together her way. Newlywed and husband coach and new Yonex racket seems to be really working for her.
It would be such a Cinderella story to see her lift the trophy, but even if Sabalenka prevails, this year's AO shows that Keys has returned to her true potential and is going to be a tough out for anyone as long as her health holds up.
Bravo MAddy well deserved. What a hustle!!!
Iga got a taste of Key's Madison.
nice!
Holy cow!
I turned it off at 2-5 in the first! Keys was making some horrific errors...she turned it around!
Way to come back and won the match. Keep up with this mental toughness and believe in yourself! ❤💪
Finally someone handed defeat to Iga with a bread stick😂
During the match Keys were lost and found
Highlight package is just so bad. Where is the break point to take it to tiebreak?
fax dude. these highlights are the worst. how about the two aces to go up 9-8 in the tiebreak too..
A full 14 minutes tiebreak on a separate clip
It was a double fault. I don’t think that’s worth a spot in the highlight video.
That and showing the winning player on the icon. It would have been so much more interesting to watch had I not known Keys would win all along.
Siiiiiii vamos Keys x ese grande slam tu puedes
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Just finished watching Maddie win her first major in another 3-setter. Heavy hitting by both Maddie and Sabalenka.
Iga had an easy draw! I thought she had it. Congratulations to keys!
Iga's draw was ridiculously easy. I'll bet she thought Madi would be an easy take but she was wrong!
Wow congratulations Keys. As much as I like Sabalenka I would like for you to win this tournament good luck
For Swiatek to miss match point...well, Keys delivered ! So happy to see that she seems to have changed a couple of things in her game to be able to pull out such an upset ! Rooting for her against Sabalenka !☺️
Feel for Iga, my favorite, but Madison played amazing and wishing her all the very best!! Would be super tough against World No. 1, but may the best player win!! Iga will come again next year stronger!!
No matter how many iga highlights you show over keys. Doesn’t stop the fact that keys is in the finals
Amazing tenacity by Keys!
Match of the Year. (Even if it's only in January)
Madison is one of the purest strikers tennis has ever seen.
without the results and titles to really back it up
@@dbisamazing84 yep, disappointing career from what I thought she was going to have
@@dbisamazing84 you were saying, she won adelaide before the AO win tonight. she won salty boi. foetal position, cry, have some milk. be a good boi. speak nice, be nice.
@@JohnnyCardinale ... adelaide backed up by AO. lol, check ya facts, or r u just pulling them outta yas.
@@squidjames7735 This will be the only major achievement of yet another one slam wonder in the WTA. Good for her she kept her head together for entire tournament at the grand slam level
Swiatek will never dominate the Slams with her serve apart from the French Open.
Iga’s serve was very good in first 5 games. Not so good in game 6 . Dispotition of the day . Congrats to Maddi
Talk about hanging tough. Brava Madison!!
Always hurts to lose a match after having Match point. Really happy for Madison but hope Iga can recover from this loss.
Just days ago people were waxing poetic about Iga.....not. Keys has always been a baller just runs hot and cold.
Ya Keys is her own worst enemy. Such a big game but shame she throws it away and crumbles at crucial times... Luckily she controlled and got through today
I could see that Madison would win. She was playing so calm and great shots! So happy for Madison, she is one of the best players! ❤❤❤❤
Soy fanático de sabalenka. Pero keys me encanta. Y me gustaría que ganara un grande
What a game
Madison!!!! Let's go!
What a match! Happy that Madison is going to the finals. Not sure she'll do better with Sabalenka but who knows?!?
Great win by Madison! I love the aggressive ball striking. One of the few that will be able to match Sabalenka's power.
Congrats Madi......Hope for an excellent thrilling Final match rather than a one sided game. Fingers crossed.....
This is the best news! Go Madison!
Amazing match!
On the battlefield of Tennis, Madison is the heavy artillery. WELL DONE!!! 😀😀👍👍
So happy for Madison. She’s had a great career and deserves to win a slam this year!
Dió todo de ella para ganar a la número 2 del mundo...vamos Madison
High quality, competitive match. So happy for Maddie!! Controlled aggression. Just keep channeling that, Maddie!! 🎾🇺🇸
games like that are the reason why I always take an aspirin for my heart before I go to the court. Tennis is an incredible game. Could have gone either way. When you save a match point and win the match, well, who plays know the feeling.
Keys this year composure and calmness will help her to pull through the final hope she is healty in that match❤
The match clearly shows superiority of the fast flat balls over loopy spinning slower shots on fast courts, there is not enough time to react even for a fast player.
Mouthwatering AO Women's Singles Final. I wont be surprised if we witness another 3rd set tie breaker and a long haul match to decide the winner. My guess is Aryna is dangerous given her hard hitting, but Madison is a smart player. Saturday Blockbuster!
