Madison Keys has won the Australian Open against the odds! She breaks Aryna Sabalenka in the final game of the match to wrap up a 6-3 2-6 7-5 victory. The 29-year-old bursts into tears almost immediately, falling into the arms of her husband in a touching scene.

An American woman is a champion once again. After having to face the two best players in the world -- Iga Switaek and Aryna Sabalenka -- Madison Keys has claimed her first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open. Keys outlasted Sabalenka in the final on Saturday over three sets to accomplish the feat.

The American's new mindset is helping her let go of expectations and unlock the best version of herself on and off the court.

Her opponent, Keys, also last reached the semi-finals in 2022 but was beaten by Ashleigh Barty who went on to win the tournament. Keys’s previous two outing saw her battle past Elena Rybakina in the fourth round then Elina Svitolina in the quarters. The American has had a tougher run but is a wiley competitior and should give Swiatek some trouble.
