This match is what women's tennis is and can be. It was a phenomenal match to watch and both players should be incredibly proud of their performance. Well done, Maddy! Go get 'em.
Understatement. She was so poised., focused, and confident. If her serve is anything like it was today, on Saturday, the title is all hers. I went through so many emotions watching that tie break. My nerves were bad. I yelled and hollered as though I was her coach. LOL. So close that it could have gone to Iga. 🎾
Same! I really enjoy watching both of them play. But I do have a softer spot for Madison. I mean either one winning will be great. Sabalenka doing a three-peat, or Maddie winning her first slam. But also one of them will not be feeling great about the outcome.
She’s give great interviews. I hope she takes all of her learnings and personal work and goes for it on Saturday. Doesn’t doubt herself and plays carefree, fierce tennis. Like she said, Aryna is fearless and mentally strong
Maybe it's the old guard male sports hack culture, so prominently on display again at the AO this year. I've noticed neither Jelena Dokic nor Casey Dellaqua have any trouble conducting excellent interviews that players and audience can enjoy alike.
The question wasn't that bad, though. He just phrased it a bit weirdly 🤷🏼♀️ And she answered it seriously and honestly, so I don't really think there was a problem.
The fact that this presser was 90% about her mentality and 10% about tactics just shows you what’s most important in winning matches. Great stuff from Madison!
Long time WTA tennis observers will surely remember the memorable final in 2017. Keys is obviously one of the players who is on many "like her best" lists. Maybe we're up to a real treat for the choice of (our) hearts and (her) merit.
I’ve been one of her biggest fans ever since 2015. She’s come such a long way since 2017. She’s always been an amazing player and so talented and hard working. But I feel like she’s enjoying herself so much more on court now, her team is great, she’s married, she’s open to changing things in her game. So proud of her and so excited for the final!
Very happy for Madison. I had a feeling she might win this, she has a different mindset and the racket switch also must have helped. If she manages to consistently land the first blow against Aryna she has a chance.
Madison is so normal, humble and down to the earth,hard working and very very nice girl and tennis player! Since a first time when I saw her I knew that she can do much in tennis,ok she achieved nice results but I think she deserved more.I hope she is going to win this final and I will support her with all my heart 💪💪💪
If she wins this tournament it will be one of the most impressive runs of all time having to go through Rybakina, Swiatek, Sabalenka. Literally the big 3 of women's tennis
Blessings 🙏🏾❤🙏🏾 I thought Maddie would beat IGA, I remember when she was coached by Maria, she was scary to play at one point. She has the talent. I am surprised she didn't win more already. I believe She is at the right time to take this final win. Hope it works out Blessings 🙏🏾❤🇹🇹🙏🏾
What are all the prayer emojis for ? She's just shown no respect or reverence for her "come to Jesus moment" would she say that about Allah? Answer No I'm happy for her I have done for time I hope she does well in final but I didn't like that language
I never cheer against Iga since she started as a Nadal fangirl. But in this case, seeing her reaction and looking into Madison’s story, I’m so happy for her
He said "DID NOT WANT TO BRING HER BACK TO ANY SAD TIME", then did. WHAT A MORAN this interviewer is. Its seems like the AO people manufactures them! Maddie reply was CLASSIC in both cases, the woman on the court was even worse, she did not even know what went on in the game she was supposed to covering.
I came in rooting for Iga, but full credit to Madi -- a very good player for a long time, and (seems like) the nicest person on tour. Now, I 100% hope she can upset Saba!
I've seen their previous matches and this Maddie is different, I tell you. I hate it when someone has to lose, when a match is as close as this one was, but I am so happy for Maddie. Iga will be fine. She's had some bad losses and didn't disappear. Maddie is saying so many inspiring things. The other girls should be taking notes!
IGA was flying high through this tournament..hadn’t dropped a set the entire tournament and Maddison Keys just clipped her wings and brought her back down to earth. Bravo Maddie!
Excellent conversation. A master class in sports psychology, but also lessons we can all apply to how we face adversity. Madi, the lessons you are taking out of this are priceless.
Congrats, Maddie! Loved your interview! Your talk about how much (and how long) you've admired and tried to learn some of Iga's mental skills really won me over, but when you said, "I didn't know what the score was" (and repeated it) THAT was sensational! Would that every player could be so totally focused on and committed to the Here and Now--perhaps even the joy, or dance, or feat, of playing tennis--then we'd have, I think, an assortment of high-functioning athletes rising to extraordinary heights! Well done!
Congrats Madisonn keys ❤❤ I always have bern a big supporter of you and i try to never miss watching your matches on tv thst only i can now but always have the feeling that in some small or minute errors you were not able to lift a title before also but watching you playing this edition AO i t was in my mind that there is a chanse for you to win this time when you defeated Swiatech in the semis Congratulations agsin to your title win and i wish to see you winning more titles in the future as well 🎉🎉 Lots of Love for u ❤❤
The final is going to be some massive hitting. Despite her ranking or lack of semis/finals appearances compared to Aryna, Madi Keys is one of the hardest hitting women in the WTA tour. She's right there with Aryna, hitting 90+ MPH forehand winners. I think this match is going to be tight because Aryna won't be able to overpower Madi like she does 90% of her opponents. She's going to have to get crafty. I think whoever can take their chances at the net and win some big points will be victor in this match.
It's no wonder why Madison Keys is so well-liked by her peers and tennis fans at large. Humble, respectful, gracious whether she wins or loses, authentic/transparent/relatable. I hope she wins the final and gets her first Major win. It would also be good if it's a good match because it "tastes much better if you beat the best at their best". Go Madi ! 🌷🙏♥️
Very honest and heart felt interview Maddie. Congratulations on those very important points. IGA was not always consistent and you took advantage of her. Well done.😊🎉
Madison is smarter and certainly more mature than most of these journalists. For players there is dope testing. For journalists there should be intelligence testing.
Hi Madison Keys CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BEST WIN. LOVING YOUR RESPONSE TO loosing to both Stephens & Sabalenka. Yes, to be 'is 👌 to be uncomfortable to play through it in front of 1000s of us... but I'm comfortable with it because that's what I want to do'. KEEP UP THE BEST WORK YOUR CURRENTLY DOING IN THE COURT. BEST IF LUCK IN YOUR FINALS. STAY BLESSED Madison Keys🤗😍😘
So pleased 🔑s won, have watched so many of her matches where she has faltered in the later stages of grandslams. Her serving was excellent today for key points. I hope she can win the final now.🤞
1GA fan bud so so soooo proud of MADI, you deserve this, so happy youre on top and one of the best in the world. Give your husband a fist pump for me. Great job guys
Congrats to Maddie. She deserves at least one slam to cap up her illustrious career. I wish she gets this. Its hard to believe she didnt know when she was match point down😂
So so happy to see Maddy come through. She always had the game, I think it was the mental side she has worked on. This is a new player, an evolved human being and that is beautiful to see. I don't even care if she loses in the final... She has written the next chapter of her career this point on
Open to change and the need to change and evolve. Honest enough to know that "insanity is doing the same thing the same way over and over again and expecting a better result". Go Madi with your newfound approach to the game ! 👍💪
I have been watching Madison Keys playing for a long time. I’m so happy for her. She’s so nice down to earth. A wonderful human being. Just the best.
yes, much better than Iga
Agree. Unlike her opponent.
Bruh everyone is nice down to earth these days lol
@@AEI__EL__AnushBarman except for Iga
@@logicrule lol everyone will show their fake side to the media ....i think IGA IS REAL
This match is what women's tennis is and can be. It was a phenomenal match to watch and both players should be incredibly proud of their performance. Well done, Maddy! Go get 'em.
💯
Last year the best matches was with Iga in it. New year and already best match of season. Iga influence on oponent is crazy.
Madison was incredible today
For sure! She worked so hard and so smart!
Understatement. She was so poised., focused, and confident. If her serve is anything like it was today, on Saturday, the title is all hers. I went through so many emotions watching that tie break. My nerves were bad. I yelled and hollered as though I was her coach. LOL. So close that it could have gone to Iga. 🎾
I love both finalist but I really want Madison to win this😃
yes but the reality is that sabalenka will destroy her, aryna is another level, good luck anyway
@@lilymartini6071 we heard that about Iga too before this match. Let the players play. Best wishes to both.
@@lilymartini6071 Aryna can make mistakes, Madison is playing better
Same! I really enjoy watching both of them play. But I do have a softer spot for Madison.
I mean either one winning will be great. Sabalenka doing a three-peat, or Maddie winning her first slam. But also one of them will not be feeling great about the outcome.
@@nt4081 yes she can but we don't know if she will
She’s give great interviews. I hope she takes all of her learnings and personal work and goes for it on Saturday. Doesn’t doubt herself and plays carefree, fierce tennis. Like she said, Aryna is fearless and mentally strong
one of the best goose bump tie breaks Ive seen😊Sheer heart attack suspense😊Love Maddys battle attitude on court
I love her interviews so much. Sat at my desk, grabbed a snack, and listening to her talk about this legendary match!
So happy for Madison, she has worked hard and its great to see her in a final, finally
Madison played so well today.
So So happy for you Madison.Very best of luck for the final😊
Her screams of joy give me life.
She just won a battle against Iga and they bring her a first question about her heartbraking loss to Aryna. Come on! What wrong with this journalist?!
A-holes 🙄
Then he says “you’re welcome”. What a tool
Maybe it's the old guard male sports hack culture, so prominently on display again at the AO this year. I've noticed neither Jelena Dokic nor Casey Dellaqua have any trouble conducting excellent interviews that players and audience can enjoy alike.
The question wasn't that bad, though. He just phrased it a bit weirdly 🤷🏼♀️ And she answered it seriously and honestly, so I don't really think there was a problem.
Yeah a negative way to start...give her a chance to celebrate first and bask in her win
The fact that this presser was 90% about her mentality and 10% about tactics just shows you what’s most important in winning matches. Great stuff from Madison!
Long time WTA tennis observers will surely remember the memorable final in 2017. Keys is obviously one of the players who is on many "like her best" lists. Maybe we're up to a real treat for the choice of (our) hearts and (her) merit.
I was there live in NY in 2017 and saw her in one of the earlier rounds, or maybe quarters. Happy she's back to a major final.
I’ve been one of her biggest fans ever since 2015. She’s come such a long way since 2017. She’s always been an amazing player and so talented and hard working. But I feel like she’s enjoying herself so much more on court now, her team is great, she’s married, she’s open to changing things in her game. So proud of her and so excited for the final!
The memorable final? Wasn’t it a bagel bc Maddie was badly injured? I would call that a forgettable final.
@@bryanmartin5901 uninformed, or ignorant? you re not qualified for this conversation.
@@bryanmartin5901 check your eyes mate i wrote "happy" not "hope
Sensational perseverance ❤️🌴🛹🎶🪐
What an epic match. I wish for her to win, really like her as a player. ❤
Madi! Let’s go!! trophy is yours. Be mentally strong on Saturday!!!!
Very happy for Madison. I had a feeling she might win this, she has a different mindset and the racket switch also must have helped. If she manages to consistently land the first blow against Aryna she has a chance.

She's liked by all of her peers
Well, she sounds like an adult. Everything to lose, but willing to put it on line and live freely. Good on her for doing the work!
If she wins this tournament it will be one of the most impressive runs of all time having to go through Rybakina, Swiatek, Sabalenka. Literally the big 3 of women's tennis
There is no 'big 3' in Women's Tennis.
Only big 2
Way to go Maddy!! Good Luck for the finals!!
Way to go, Madison! That was the best match of the tournament (women's) so far!!
Madison … Iga … What a mind-blowing tenis performance … You’re both the truly Champions … Sublime 👏🏻.
This match was insane! Well done, Maddy!
Let’s go Madison 🎉
It was heart-breaking loss for Iga- but Madi played better! Great level Semi to watch! Iga, you did fantastic in AO and the public love you!
Blessings 🙏🏾❤🙏🏾 I thought Maddie would beat IGA, I remember when she was coached by Maria, she was scary to play at one point. She has the talent. I am surprised she didn't win more already.

“ got more comfortable with being uncomfortable “ nice
The questions from some of the these reporters are so negative, I often wonder why the players put up with it.
Bc they have to per the rules or face fines. But zero limit on idiotic questions. Not just this AO but tennis overall.
So annoying
He said "DID NOT WANT TO BRING HER BACK TO ANY SAD TIME", then did. WHAT A MORAN this interviewer is. Its seems like the AO people manufactures them! Maddie reply was CLASSIC in both cases, the woman on the court was even worse, she did not even know what went on in the game she was supposed to covering.
These 'reporters'... 5th graders could craft better questions. Smh
Agreed, and thinking about what Shelton said the other day this annoyed me too
Yes the tournament needs to tighten up in that regard. It's been a source of irritation for a lot of players
Fabulous game, I’m so pleased she won 🎉
I came in rooting for Iga, but full credit to Madi -- a very good player for a long time, and (seems like) the nicest person on tour. Now, I 100% hope she can upset Saba!
Same 🙈❤️
Well done! I’ve watched you develop over many years, and your commitment to,ent and growth is terrific. Congrats.
I wish her to win! Hard not to relate to her and like her! from a Polish Iga's fan
Happy for Maddy; hope she wins the championship
I've seen their previous matches and this Maddie is different, I tell you. I hate it when someone has to lose, when a match is as close as this one was, but I am so happy for Maddie. Iga will be fine. She's had some bad losses and didn't disappear. Maddie is saying so many inspiring things. The other girls should be taking notes!
Great game and congrats Madison!
So Proud of Madison for still 💓 hanging in there Never Give up Madison
IGA was flying high through this tournament..hadn’t dropped a set the entire tournament and Maddison Keys just clipped her wings and brought her back down to earth. Bravo Maddie!
Maddy can win this whole deal. Gotta continue that strong consistent run.
Maddie Top Chick!! thanks for the heartfelt interview
Well fought, well deserved win for Maddison! Great interviw as well. I wish her success in the final.
Go Madison!!!!!!!!! 🎉
Excellent conversation. A master class in sports psychology, but also lessons we can all apply to how we face adversity. Madi, the lessons you are taking out of this are priceless.
I think Madison’s belief in herself and her coach/husband has made such a difference.Always been a good technician
I usually cheer for Sabalenka but I will be happier if Madison wins this Saturday 😊
Cograts Maddy well deserved win

Best match of the AO!
I'm really sad for Iga but happy for Madi!!! Incredible playing from her
What a Win for Maddy, so proud of her fight. Her new husband, new racket, new attitude!! So special !!

She’s been playing lights out tennis all tournament.. she had the edge going into the SF as opposed to IS who breezed into it.. but so glad she won!
so happy for you Madison!! Well deserved, for sure!!!
Good luck Maddison 🥳🥳🥳
It's no wonder why Madison Keys is so well-liked by her peers and tennis fans at large. Humble, respectful, gracious whether she wins or loses, authentic/transparent/relatable.

Congrats Madison….let’s go🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Madison! Champion! Go Kick Sabs Butt!
Very honest and heart felt interview Maddie. Congratulations on those very important points. IGA was not always consistent and you took advantage of her. Well done.😊🎉
So happy for her😊
Madi. You got this. You can beat Saba. Go for it.
Madison is smarter and certainly more mature than most of these journalists. For players there is dope testing. For journalists there should be intelligence testing.
And an obnoxiousness filter.
It is Madison Keys' time to shine.
🤯🤯🤯GOOD FOR HER!
Bravo Madison !!
Keys is in a good head space.
Congrats to Madison! All the best in the final. Going to be tough to beat Sabalanka though
Brilliant this Zen

Obwohl ich große fan von iga swiatek bin herzlichen Glückwunsch zum halbfinale sieg super leistung madison alles gute beim finale
Congrats to Maddie. She deserves at least one slam to cap up her illustrious career. I wish she gets this.
Its hard to believe she didnt know when she was match point down😂
She hits big
Good luck in the Final Madison🎾🔥
200th comment 🎉
Her reaction at 16:05 to that idiotic question.
She did it. Beat all them in the toughest draw to win it all. Way to welcome 2025
Very cool person, great tennis player USA
So so happy to see Maddy come through. She always had the game, I think it was the mental side she has worked on. This is a new player, an evolved human being and that is beautiful to see. I don't even care if she loses in the final... She has written the next chapter of her career this point on
She answered with poise, honesty and super insights ❤
Love Madison. No coyness. Just straightforward and honest. Great!
Wishing her the best. This Maddie's time to shine❤
B players like Keys just had a on day where shots went in..All B players have one of those days once or twice in their career
I think first thing they should be saying is congratulations on your win.
Go Madison for the title!
Open to change and the need to change and evolve. Honest enough to know that "insanity is doing the same thing the same way over and over again and expecting a better result". Go Madi with your newfound approach to the game ! 👍💪
A down to earth player, you just got to respect her, can't believe she took down Iga, really happy for her 💜🙏🇮🇪💚
