Madison Keys certainly knows how to get the US Open crowd up and about, and she didn’t hold back in her post-match interview.
“I just love it here, I love playing here,” she said after beating Marketa Vondrousova to book a spot in the semis.
“In front of a home crowd you can never feel like you can’t get out of any situation. I always walk on the court and feel right at home.”
Keys saved nine break points to clinch victory.
Tennis great Rennae Stubbs was conducting the on-court interview on Arthur Ashe Stadium and asked Keys what advice her fiance and coach were giving her during the match.
“To be honest I couldn’t hear shit out here tonight,” Keys laughed.
Stubbs paused for a moment before replying, “we can’t bleep you, Madi”.
