Biography

About Madison Keys

Edited by the community

Madison Keys, born on February 17, 1995, in Rock Island, Illinois, is an American professional tennis player. 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. Keys first entered the top 100 in 2013 and broke into the top 10 in 2016, the first American woman to do so since Serena Williams 17 years earlier. 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. Her breakthrough at a major came in 2015 as a teenager when she reached the Australian Open semifinals. 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.
