Madison Keys was able to come through a tough match at the Australian Open 2026 against Pliskova and went to the press conference to assess her performance and thank playing in the first slot to avoid the heat. "I was surprised by the heat when I stepped on the court, but it was manageable playing early. In extreme heat conditions, it is vital to stay well hydrated and, regarding the strings, to increase the tension slightly. I only raised half a kilo today, but if I had to play in hotter hours, I could have increased the tension by three or four kilos," declared a woman who will play in the round of 16 against her friend Jessica Pegula.
