Madison Keys opened her 2024 season in spectacular fashion, claiming her ninth career WTA title at the Adelaide International. Facing fellow American and tournament top seed Jessica Pegula in Saturday’s final, Keys prevailed in a hard-fought 6-3 4-6 6-1 victory.
Despite encountering an upper leg injury midway through the match, Keys found another gear in the deciding set, leaving Pegula little room to counter. The win also marked Keys’ 30th career victory over a Top 10 player.
Keys, ranked world No.20, was unstoppable throughout the WTA 500 tournament in Australia.
