Madison Keys achieved the greatest accomplishment of her career just a few hours ago when she defeated Aryna Sabalenka in the final of the Australian Open. The American's path to glory hasn't been easy as she had to face tough opponents, such as Iga Swiatek in the semifinals. However, despite the challenges, Keys was able to claim her first Grand Slam title. She has now joined a select group of women who were capable of defeating both the number 1 and number 2 players in the world on their way to a Slam title. Since 2000, a total of 7 tennis players, including Keys, have achieved this feat: Venus Williams, Jennifer Capriati, Serena Williams, Justine Henin, Maria Sharapova, and Svetlana Kuznetsova.
