Keys: "Emotions are a bit more intense"

Madison Keys advanced to the third round of the 2026 Australian Open. The defending champion explained in a press conference whether that status makes her experience it in a different way: "I feel like I have always had great support from the crowd here, but I think now it's even more intense, which is always very nice, although I think we are still similar. The emotions are perhaps a bit more intense, but obviously it has always been a place where I have loved to play and have wonderful memories. In tough moments like today, falling in the second set, reminding yourself that you have been here before and you have overcome it is very important. When you manage to do that in a place where you have succeeded, it feels a bit easier."
