Madison Keys in US Open 2023 semifinals – defeats Wimbledon champion Market Vondrousova

Vondrousova, who was considered the favorite by many experts, lost in two sets with a score of 1-6, 4-6 at the end of the game, which lasted an hour and 26 minutes.

For Keys, this is the first qualification in the semi-finals of the US Open after a five-year break. In 2017, Madison played in the final at Flushing Meadows, where she was defeated by compatriot Sloane Stephens in the final.

Keys will play Aryna Sabalenko, a player with a similar game profile (in terms of hitting power), for the grand final.
