Madison Keys est impressionnante dans cet US Open 2023. Après avoir battu la dangereuse Liudmila Samsonova, l'Américaine n'avait laissé que quatre jeux à la 3e joueuse mondiale, sa compatriote Jessica Pegula. Finaliste en 2017 et demi-finaliste en 2018, la 17e joueuse mondiale a continué sa route en maîtrisant mercredi soir Marketa Vondrousova, 6-1, 6-4. Keys a su prendre le dessus sur la lauréate de Wimbledon en sauvant les neuf balles de break concédées. L'Américaine est en feu et jouera une troisième demi-finale à l'US Open, une sixième en Grand Chelem. Il faudra vaincre Aryna Sabalenka pour aller en finale. Un grand challenge pour celle qui préfère rester dans l'ombre.

00:00 I think there's obviously a lot of things that I can take from the match.
00:03 The number one thing being she beat me.
00:07 But I think that there's still going to be,
00:12 you know, similar patterns and tendencies that she has that I can definitely lean
00:16 into. And also in the second set at Wimbledon, I was up a break and I had chances
00:22 and I was definitely in the match and had opportunities.
00:25 So I think even though I lost that match,
00:28 it wasn't like, you know, I wasn't in the match
00:31 and I had no idea what I was doing out there.
00:33 So I think there's a lot of positives that I can take out of that match
00:37 and try to implement tomorrow.
00:39 I think I've had a just really good mindset
00:44 going into the matches and have been trying to be
00:47 maybe just a little bit more emotionally balanced, I think, in the past,
00:52 just having kind of more of the highs and lows leading into the matches
00:57 and getting a lot more nervous and things like that
00:59 has ultimately led to either being more tired the next round or things like that.
01:06 But I think, you know, the last couple of months,
01:10 I've been just pretty even keeled and being able to
01:14 consistently do that day in and day out, I think, leads to good things.
01:18 You spoke a moment ago about facing Arena.
01:23 How would you describe her as a player and what do you think
01:27 are the biggest similarities in your games?
01:29 I think she's obviously a phenomenal tennis player.
01:33 There's a reason she's going to be number one on Monday.
01:35 She has a ton of power.
01:38 She serves really well.
01:40 And to be quite honest, the year that she was able to have
01:46 with the serving troubles that she had, I think it just shows
01:51 she's an incredible competitor and fighter.
01:54 And I mean, she's she's really, really good.
01:58 So I think tomorrow it's definitely going to be a lot of
02:01 who can get in charge of the point as early as possible,
02:05 because I feel like both of our games, if you get behind in the point,
02:09 it's a lot harder to get back to neutral and then get back on the aggressive.
