In the exciting world of professional tennis, where all eyes are usually on the top players, Madison Keys, the American tennis star, is quietly enjoying not being in the spotlight. Despite her impressive performance at this year’s US Open, she seems to be okay with not getting a lot of attention from the media.

Regardless of making it to the semi-finals in New York, Keys is just content enough with the minimal attention she is receiving.

Madison Keys’ take on media attention

Madison Keys, with her powerful strokes and unwavering determination, has reached the semifinals of the US Open. Her victory against Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova in straight sets was nothing short of impressive. While her relentless talent is definitely something to note and celebrate her for, Keys recently mentioned that she appreciates the amount of media attention she is getting.

The American, who will be adding $775,000 to her already illustrious $8 Million net worth, was refreshingly honest at her post-match interview. She said, “Honestly, it’s been great. I love that none of you talk about me anymore. I don’t have press requests. It’s a lot off of my plate. I kind of just come in and leave and no complaints.” She further added with a chuckle, “So you guys want to keep not talking about me, more than happy.”

Keys’ response is quite different from what we usually hear from athletes who often deal with constant media attention, but it serves as a valuable lesson in serenity. Keys’ take on the media attention narrative is quite literally a breath of fresh air in an era where athletes often grapple with the pressures of constant public attention.

Keys’ next challenge at the US Open, Aryna Sabalenka

Keys will now be facing the second seed Belarusian tennis sensation, Aryna Sabalenka, who was recently crowned the WTA world No. 1.
