She turned professional on her 14th birthday in 2009, becoming one of the youngest players to win a WTA Tour-level match a few months later.

At 31, she has been active for 17 years and has climbed as high as world No. 5 in the WTA rankings.
Keys has won ten WTA Tour-level career singles titles, including the 2025 Australian Open, where she defeated two-time champion Aryna Sabalenka. She was also the runner-up at the 2017 US Open.

After years of injury struggles, she captured her first major title in 2025, consecutively defeating world No. 2 Iga Świątek and world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.
Known for a fast serve and one of the most powerful forehands in the game, Keys plays an aggressive style. She has won at least one title on every surface and has reached at least the quarterfinals of all four majors. Standing 5'10" with an athletic build, brown hair, and green eyes, Keys has a strong social media presence with 354k Instagram followers.
