Madison Keys is living her best life right now—and rightfully so! After quietly but steadily making waves on the court, the American tennis star pulled off one of the most impressive runs at the Australian Open, toppling giants like Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka to claim her first Grand Slam title. And now? It’s party time! Backing her celebration in style is none other than fashionwear giant Nike and even Keys couldn’t hide her excitement.
The American tennis sensation played her final match in Melbourne against Sabalenka and depicted complete composure. Despite losing the second set, the star player remained stoic and resilient and bounced back in style to eventually clinch the match 6-3, 2-6, 7-5. She has continued to gain immense praise from all across the tennis community but the latest seems to have mesmerized the most. But what is the latest honor about?
Well, Nike decided to celebrate Keys’ success on a bigger stage and featured her on a billboard in New York. Fans can see Keys being portrayed on the billboard that reads, “It doesn’t happen Overnight.” Interestingly, Keys was quick to notice and took to her Instagram to share her joy. The star player was seen taking a selfie with the honor roll as she stood completely excited and jubilant in front of it. This, however, is not the first time when the star player has expressed her joy over winning the title.

Speaking on Good Morning America about winning the trophy, Keys reflected immense happiness. “I feel like I still haven’t quite stopped moving to actually sit there and totally take it in. It’s been a crazy 48 hours. I’m just so happy I finally have one of these,” she said on January 28. But Keys is not taking all the credit for her success. The star player ensured to laud all the support that she received from her team and her husband Bjorn Fratangelo, which helped her bag the glorious title.
Madison Keys exudes immense gratefulness to husband
Madison Keys began dating Bjorn Fratengelo in 2017 but the couple kept their relationship under wraps before eventually getting engaged in March 2023. The couple eventually tied the knot last year. While they together witnessed some highs and lows in life both personally and professionally, the couple finally managed to achieve tremendous professional success in Melbourne, and Keys cannot be prouder.
Speaking after winning the title, Keys did not fail to thank her team, which also comprises her husband. “My team believed in me every step of the way, so thank you so much. They believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself and helped me every step of the way,” Keys said. Continuing further, she reflected on all the help she received from her husband and thanked him for his support.
“Last year was so tough with some really bad injuries and I didn’t know if I was going to be able to do it again. To be here and have this trophy and to be able to do with my husband, who’s kind of dazed and confused over there, I love you all so much and I cannot wait for more,” the star player said. Now, as the season evolves, it will be interesting to see if she can continue her dominant form and win more accolades alongside her husband.
