MELBOURNE, Australia – As a 4-year-old she watched Venus Williams (turned pro: 1994 at age of 13) playing on TV and fell in love with her dress.
So began the tennis career of Madison Keys (Born: Feb 17, 1995 ).
“I really wanted a tennis dress,” said Keys, now 17. “My parents told me that if I played, they would buy me one. I was like, ‘Hey, I’ll try it.'”
Keys now has a closet full of tennis dresses and enough talent to have reached the third round at the Australian Open on Wednesday.
