Madison Keys' surprise proposal story—does it top your list of romantic gestures in sports?

As the tennis season winds down, the action on the courts might be slowing, but off the courts? The buzz is only heating up! After a year packed with jaw-dropping tournaments and unexpected moments, fans are now turning their attention to something much more heartwarming—the wedding of tennis sweethearts Madison Keys and Bjorn Fratangelo. And the tennis fraternity? They couldn’t be more thrilled! Leading the excitement parade is none other than American star Sloane Stephens, who has been all smiles and good vibes for her friend and fellow player.

Keys and her husband tied the knot on November 23 in Charleston. Remember, the couple began dating in 2017 but kept it under wraps before eventually getting engaged in March last year. And now, as they gear up for a new phase of their lives, the WTA stars and close friends of Keys cannot keep calm as can be evidenced by the latest gesture of Stephens who is vibing to the song of Travis Scott. 

The updates about the wedding festivities were shared by Taylor Townsend who took to her Instagram story to share pictures and videos from the wedding. In one of these videos, Townsend can be seen with Sloane Stephens as they can be seen vibing to “Sicko Mode,” a song by Travis Scott. While Townsend can be seen with a glass of drink in her hand, Stephens is spotted in white attire performing a happy dance. Captioning the story, Townsend wrote, “@sloanaestephens rare 2 step.” This, however, was not the only interesting highlight of the wedding.

Have an interesting take?

Madison Keys and Bjorn Fratangelo first crossed paths in 2006 in Boca Raton when they trained at the same tennis facility, forming a close-knit friendship within their shared circle. Later, their journey took them to Orlando, where they lived in the same apartment complex for some time. And soon, this friendship started blossoming into love. However, when Fratangelo proposed Keys, the WTA star was taken by surprise as she did not expect it to come. 

After her first-round victory at the Charleston Open last year, Stephens revealed how her partner proposed to her. “He actually did it at home the day I got back from Dubai, so I was not expecting it at all. I was sitting on the couch, and he was like, ‘Hey, I have your birthday present.’ He handed me something and then got down on one knee. Just sitting on the couch, so now we have to keep the couch forever,” she shared with a laugh.
