The American is into the final in Melbourne, with husband Bjorn Fratangelo as her coach. This is how the married couple work it out
Madison Keys, fresh off her maiden Grand Slam title at the 2025 Australian Open, has gained a lot of attention from the tennis community worldwide.
Madison Keys funnily shared that Bjorn Fratangelo was hesitant to coach her because he felt "uncomfortable" telling her what to do but she "forced" him to embrace the role. Last November, the two American tennis players tied the knot after dating for seven years.

The newlywed Keys, whose husband and coach is former American tennis player Bjorn Fratangelo, said after some much needed sleep, they'll be "back to work on Monday" to prepare for "lots of tournaments" including the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells and the Miami Open back to back in March.
The newly crowned Australian Open champion delivered a touching tribute to her close-knit team after claiming an elusive first grand slam crown with a nerve-shredding 6-3 2-6 7-5 victory over world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka at Melbourne Park on Saturday night.
Perhaps they remember her from Junior Orange Bowl tournaments at Salvadore Park and Biltmore Tennis Center in Coral Gables, or from the Crandon Park Tennis Center in Key Biscayne, where 5-foot-10 Keys dazzled spectators with her 114 mph serve as a 14-year-old in the Orange Bowl Under-18s division.
Madison Keys says she kept telling herself to be brave down the stretch of a tight third set in the Australian Open final against two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka
The Madison Keys who will play two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka for the title at the Australian Open on Saturday night is not the same Madison Keys who was the runner-up at the U.S. Open back in 2017,
