Madison Keys was part of an all-American women’s semifinals last year at the United States Open. On Wednesday night, she became the only one of last year’s final four to book a return trip, beating Carla Suárez Navarro, 6-4, 6-3, in a quarterfinal.
Keys, 23, has been calm, composed and confident throughout her tournament, and acknowledged she had grown “better managing my emotions once it gets to this part.”
“Knowing that everything is going to be probably more amped up, and not shying away from those but just really being honest about it and talking about it,” she added.
