Madison
wins
Australian
Open
Wildcard
19th
December 2011
Madison
has
won
a
wildcard
for
the
main
draw
at
the
Australian
Open
as
defeated
Gail
Brodsky

in
the
US
wildcard
playoff.
Madison,
who
was
the
No.6
seed
in
the
eight
woman,
single
elimination
draw,
was
nearly
beaten
in
the
quarterfinals,
saving
a
match
point
down
7-6
in

to
beat
No.3
seed

After
the
win,
Madison
said:
"I
prefer
not
to
go
three
sets
if I
have
the
choice,
but
if I
lose
the
first
set
then
of
course
I
want
to
go
three.
just
try
and
focus
on
playing
better
than
I
did
in
the
previous
set."
I'm
starting
to
like
these
wildcard
play-offs.
I
didn't
feel
any
pressure.
I'm
one
of
the
younger
ones
still
so
I'm
not
supposed
to
win
these
matches.
I
knew
she
was
getting
pressured
by
my
power.
My
serve
came
in
handy."

Get to know
our rising
star Madison
Keys.
By: Jon Mahoney, Christopher Parish, Matt Remsberg, Brian A. Giuffra and Jared Zwerling
For
15-year-old
Madison
Keys, it was
tennis
fashion --
not the
game -- that
launched her
career. When
Keys was a
4-year-old
watching
Venus
Williams on
TV at
Wimbledon,
she wanted a
dress like
hers. Her
parents not
only bought
her one but
also a
racket. Just
six years
later, she
began
training at
a
prestigious
tennis
academy, and
by 13, she
was a pro.
Since then,
Keys, who
plays in
both WTA and
ITF events,
won her pro
debut at 14
and even
beat Venus’
sister,
Serena,
during a
World
TeamTennis
match. Up
next:
April’s
Easter Bowl
and then …
Wimbledon.
-- J.Z.
When I tried
tennis, I
loved it.
I played
against my
garage door,
then on my
driveway and
then my
parents took
me to the
court after
school every
day. I
started
taking
lessons
three times
a week when
I was seven
and then I
started
playing in
tournaments
when I was
nine. When I
was 10 and a
half, I
moved from
Illinois to
Florida to
go to Evert
Tennis
Academy.
I was a
little bit
sad because
I was
leaving my
friends, but
I was
excited to
play tennis
all day. The
academy has
helped me a
ton and I’ve
also made a
lot of
friends.
My typical
day is
drilling
from 9 to 11
a.m. and
homeschooling
from 12 to 3
p.m. with
Kaplan
Virtual
Education,
an online
high school.
Then, I play
matches from
3 to 5 p.m.,
do fitness
from 5 to 6
p.m. and
then
homework
from 7 to 9
p.m.
I was
surprised
that I
played as
well as I
did against
Serena. I
served out
of my mind.
It was
different
because
everyone was
wondering
how I felt,
but once it
was over I
was pretty
much focused
on getting
ready to
play
doubles. If
I was
compared to
Serena,
great, but
I’m not
really
worried
about who
I’m compared
to.
I think that
I’m one of
the
up-and-coming
USA players
and I’m more
just worried
about being
my own
person.
Being only
15 and going
to so many
different
places is a
great
experience.
I've been to
almost every
state. I've
also visited
Australia,
Italy,
France,
Brazil,
Peru,
Canada, the
Bahamas,
Mexico,
Spain,
Puerto Rico
and Costa
Rica.
Actually, in
Costa Rica
there was an
earthquake
during one
of my
matches. I’m
really
excited to
go to
England this
year for
Wimbledon.
I'm playing
as a junior.
When I
travel, I’m
open to
trying
different
things. When
I went to
Australia
this year, I
ate
kangaroo. It
was like
chewy steak.
My life
hasn’t
changed a
lot since
I’ve become
a pro, but
definitely
having
Wilson and
Nike (as
sponsors)
has been
amazing.
My life is
pretty
balanced,
and I don’t
think
there’s
really
anything I
wish I could
have more
time for. My
sisters and
my friends
are very
good at
keeping me
grounded. If
someone sees
me
sometimes,
they’ll
recognize
me. One
time, after
I won a
match at the
Coffee Bowl
in Costa
Rica, a
little girl
asked me to
sign my full
name across
her forehead
in blue
marker.
