Sabalenka couldn’t beat Madison Keys

by

The American Madison Keys destroyed all predictions at the Australian Open. It was not enough for her to overcome a match point in the semi-finals against the No. 2, the Polish Iga Swiatek. She completed her masterpiece by overthrowing the two-time champion and world No. 1, the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, 6-3, 2-6 and 7-5 in 2h.02′. At 29 years old, eight after losing the final of the 2017 US Open to her compatriot Sloane Stephens, she experienced her moment of glory in world tennis. Recently married to former player Bjorn Fratangelo, since the party in November everything has been happiness for pupil and coach. They have won 13 of their 14 games, they have won the last eleven. She was able to beat the one who was called to be queen for the third consecutive time. Sabalenka was left without a hat trick, as she destroyed her racket once she completed her defeat. Madison Keys stronger in the end Keys coped well with the agony of a final full of emotions. Sabalenka was far from being the player who overwhelmed Badosa. Strangely, in her fourth Grand Slam final, she seemed more nervous than ever. Keys laughed and cried because she did not expect a better gift at Melbourne Park, adorned with her return to the world top-10: on Monday she will rise from fourteenth to seventh position. She has worked on it with great dedication and enthusiasm, believing in herself. Only with faith and tennis could Sabalenka be dethroned, who had 20 consecutive victories in Grand Slam and at the Australian Open, who was knocked out after eleven consecutive victories on the court. Keys’ performance was unexpected, overcoming the reaction in the second set of a rival without the inspiration of other days, too anxious. The world turned upside down, the champion of four Grand Slams suffered more than the one who is now making her debut, taking over from Sofia Kenin, the previous American winner in this Open, in 2020 at the expense of Garbiñe Muguruza. Historic first Grand Slam At 29 years of age, the tennis player from Illinois (United States) became the fourth oldest player to win her first Grand Slam title, behind the Italian Flavia Pennetta (US Open at 33 years old), the British Ann Jones ( Wimbledon at 30 years old) and the transalpine Francesca Schiavone (Roland Garros at 29 years old). This was Keys’ tenth title in his professional history, having previously lifted the trophies at Eastbourne in 2014 and 2023, Birmingham 2016, Stanford 2017, Charleston and Cincinnati 2019, Adelaide II in 2022, Strasbourg 2024 and also Adelaide in early this year, a contest that preceded this great achievement in his career. Before her conquest, 15 other North American tennis players had managed to win the Oceanic Grand Slam: Dorothy Bundi (1938), Doris Hart (1949), Louise Brough (1950), Maureen Connolly (1953), Shirley Fry (1957), Nancy Richey (1967), Billie Jean King (1968), Barbara Jordan (1979), Martina Navratilova (1981, 1983 and 1985), Christ Evert (1982 and 1984), Monica Seles (1996), Lindsay Davenport (2000), Jennifer Capriati (2001 and 2002), Serena Williams (2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2015 and 2017) and Sofia Kenin (2020). The greatest exponent of the Australian Open continues to be the local Margaret Smith, who won 11 titles from 1060 to 1973.

Novak Djokovic withdrew due to injury

by

Novak Djokovic (7th), the legend of the Australian Open with ten crowns, retired injured amid boos this Friday in the semifinals, so Alexander Zverev (2nd) will challenge the current champion Jannik Sinner (1st), expeditiously against Ben Shelton (20th ). In the first semifinal, Zverev had just won the first set in the tie-break, 7-6 (7/5), after an hour and 20 minutes of battle when Djokovic approached the net and told him that he could not continue. The Serbian, who received boos and whistles, explained in a press conference that he suffered a “muscle tear” on Wednesday in the quarterfinals against the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz (3rd). “The medication, the treatment and the bandage helped me, but at the end of the first set I started to feel increasing pain, which was difficult to manage. I tried my chance. If I had won the first set I would have tried to play a few more games, maybe a set, I don’t know,” said the player with 24 Grand Slams on his resume. Farewell to Melbourne? The 37-year-old giant left the door open for it to be his last game in Melbourne: “There is a chance that it was like that. Who knows? I’ll have to see how the year goes. I want to continue. If I’m motivated and healthy, I don’t see any reason not to come back.”. On the court, in the winner’s speech, Zverev came to the defense of Djokovic, who had abandoned her, responding with a raised thumb to the boos at the Rod Laver Arena. “Please don’t boo any player, much less Novak. He has done everything imaginable for this sport, he has tried to compete despite his problems, I know they have paid an entry fee, but he has been giving everything for this sport for 20 years and won this tournament with a torn abdominal. Show some love,” the 27-year-old said. “I had to play the best set of the tournament to beat him while he was injured. It’s too good”he added with great respect for the legend. Sinner the other finalist In the second round, the current champion Sinner beat Shelton 7-6 (7/2), 6-2 and 6-2, his 20th consecutive victory – the best series of his career – in a match in which he suffered cramps muscular. The Italian finished the duel with a slight limp and received physiotherapy treatments on the court in the final part of a duel that he was able to close against a weak Shelton, unable to take advantage of this circumstance. The number 1 had left the semi-final on track by winning the tie-break of the first round, in which he had given up his serve on two occasions, recovering it immediately. Shelton couldn’t stand the pressure, with a succession of errors, and saw his rival go 5-0 up in the tie-break to end up winning 7-2.

He had won four Roland Garros (2020, 2022, 2023, 2024) and one US Open (2022), but he will have to wait to achieve his first title at the Australian Open and regain the number one ranking. Keys achieved the second victory in six matches against Swiatek in historyalong with what was achieved in Cincinnati 2022, and now she will face Sabalenka, whom she only beat once in five meetings, in Berlin 2021.

The American was guaranteed to leave the Top 10 previously, but now, if she wins the title, she can be ranked number 7 in the world. “I’m very proud of myself for being able to stay there. I’d be lying if I said I never had doubts.. Being so close in the semi-finals with Aryna and losing was heartbreaking. That defeat took a long time to get over, but at the same time, I never stopped telling myself that if I kept working hard, and kept giving it my all, that’s all I could do, the only thing I can control. Good things tend to happen when you have that mindset,” he said. And he clarified: “There have been times in my career when things were easy. That is the reality of sport, it is very difficult to stay at the top every week. It’s easy to have doubts at times when things aren’t working out. The big focus for me this preseason was to try anything, be open to changes. I’m at a later stage in my career. Whatever the years I have left, why not be open to some changes?” Continue reading: American Madison Keys reached the semifinals of the Australian OpenAlcaraz mocks Djokovic’s injury after his loss to the Serbian at the Australian OpenBrazilian Joao Fonseca surpasses records of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic in Australian Open
