Although all tennis players' focus is currently on the grass surface, the Roland Garros 2025 final between Coco Gauff, the winner, and Aryna Sabalenka, continues to cause debate on the circuit. The controversial statements of the world number one about the champion in Paris went around the world.

Already securing her spot in the semifinals at WTA Queen's 2025, Madison Keys did not hesitate to offer her perspective as Gauff's compatriot, though with clear ideas about what she would have done in her place. These were Madison's words at the press conference in London.

Keys weighs in on the controversy between Sabalenka and Gauff

"To be honest, I don't think I would really care, especially if I had won, no matter what they say or think," said the American with a smile on her face. "It's tough. It's a complicated emotional moment, and I think sometimes emotions bring everything out of people. Things are said in a way and not necessarily meant seriously.

Other times you feel very disappointed with yourself because you haven't played at the level you expected. I think sometimes it's hard to overcome those moments, especially if you have a microphone in front of you. Sometimes we say things we later regret. Again, I don't think Coco would care."

Her transition from clay to grass

"It was a very quick transition. I played on Wednesday on clay, traveled on Thursday, and was playing on grass on Friday. It's probably the fastest I've changed surfaces in a long time, but I'm very happy to be at Queen's. When it appeared on the calendar, it was a place I had always wanted to play.

The fact that it's a high-level 500 is definitely a challenge, but the women's grass season is always very tough. In every tournament, the ranking cut-offs are very high simply because there aren't many options. I knew it was going to happen one way or another, so I thought it would be best to just get on with it."
