Madison
defeated
Jill
Craybas
6-1
6-4
Q.
Talk
about
your
first
experience
here.
MADISON
KEYS:
This
is
my
first
time
in
the
main
draw
here,
and
obviously
it
was
a
good
first
day.
It's
just
been
awesome.
I'm
really
excited,
and
hopefully
I
have
another
good
match
Wednesday.
Q.
Did
you
know
Jill
at
all?
MADISON
KEYS:
We've
kinda
known
each
other
just
because
we're
both
Americans,
but
I
never
played
her
before.
Q.
Did
she
have
anything
to
say
to
you,
you
know,
someone
who's
obviously
played
a
long
time
to
another
American
before
you
went
on
the
court,
or
afterwards
did
she
say
anything
to
you?
MADISON
KEYS:
After
the
match
she
congratulated
me
on
the
win
and
told
me
good
luck
for
the
next
round.
Q.
Did
you
know
there
was
a 21
year
age
difference
there?
MADISON
KEYS:
I
was
told
there
was
a
pretty
big
age
difference,
but
I
wasn't
really
thinking
about
it.
Q.
Do
you
think
it
will
be
pretty
cool
if
your
career
lasted
until
you
were
37?
MADISON
KEYS:
Yeah,
I
think
I'd
have
a
pretty
good
career
if
it
lasted
that
long.
Q.
Seemed
like
after
a
while
you
were
just
overpowering
her.
Did
you
feel
like
you
could
just
beat
her
with
the
groundstrokes?
MADISON
KEYS:
I
feel
like
I
was
trying
to
really
just
kind
of
break
her
down
and
really
stick
to
my
game,
and
I
thought
I
did
a
pretty
good
job
of
that
after
the
match.
Q.
When
was
the
first
time
that
you
ever
came
here?
MADISON
KEYS:
Last
year.
Q.
First
time?
MADISON
KEYS:
Yes.
Q.
Had
never
been
on
the
grounds
before?
MADISON
KEYS:
No,
never.
Q.
What's
your
earliest
memory
of
watching
the
US
Open,
as a
kid
or...
MADISON
KEYS:
Probably
when
I
was
like
eight.
Q.
Do
you
recall
a
match
or
anything?
MADISON
KEYS:
Not
really,
no.
Q.
What
has
your
experience
been
like
now
being
in
the
main
draw
as
opposed
to
qualifying
rounds
and
the
atmosphere
of
the
US
Open?
MADISON
KEYS:
During
the
qualifying
I
lost
first
round,
so
there
weren't
very
many
people
around.
I
mean,
now
there's
so
many
people.
It's
pretty
crowded.
There's
lots
of
energy.
So
it's
definitely
an
awesome
experience.
Q.
Is
it
psyching
you
up?
Is
it
overwhelming?
What's
your
experience
like
or
your
feelings
like
being
here?
MADISON
KEYS:
I'm
loving
it.
I
mean,
I
have
two
younger
sisters
who
are
always
really
loud
and
everything,
so
I'm
kind
of
used
to
noise.
So I
love
it.
Q. I
read
somewhere
your
inspiration
for
getting
into
tennis
was
one
of
Venus
Williams'
outfits;
is
that
right?
Tell
us
that
story.
MADISON
KEYS:
I
was
four,
and
I
walked
through
my
parents'
bedroom.
I
think
they
were
watching
Wimbledon
or
something,
and
I
decided
I
wanted
Venus'
dress.
They
told
me
if I
played
tennis
they'd
buy
me a
tennis
dress.
I
said,
All
right,
I'll
try
it.
I
have
been
playing
ever
since.
Q.
Have
you
told
Venus
this
story?
MADISON
KEYS:
I
have
not,
actually.
Q.
Do
you
think
maybe
you
should
now?
MADISON
KEYS:
I
think
it
just
kinda
shows
how
important
outfits
are.
Q.
You
don't
have
to
be
specific,
but
is
your
mom
older
or
younger
than
Jill?
MADISON
KEYS:
Older. |
