Madison Keys continues to make steady progress at Wimbledon. The American secured her spot in the round of 16 after a commanding victory over Amanda Anisimova, marking the 25th time in her career that she has reached the second week of a Grand Slam.

Despite competing at the elite level for over a decade, the match against Anisimova held special significance for Keys. At 31 years old, she played her first ever match on the Centre Court at Wimbledon, an experience she had been eagerly anticipating for a long time. Far from feeling intimidated by the stage, she decided to savor every moment of the journey to the court. Additionally, the American emphasized the importance of once again reaching the top 16 in a Grand Slam, a goal she set for herself since the beginning of her career and considers one of her greatest achievements.

With the confidence from her previous week's title in Eastbourne and the excellent form she is in on grass, Keys enters the second week convinced that a completely different tournament begins now.

Madison Keys and a much-anticipated debut on Centre Court

"I was thrilled to finally play my first match on Centre Court. As I walked through the halls and looked at all the pictures on the walls, I thought, 'I had never seen this'. I wouldn't say it was intimidating; it was just a lot of fun to experience it for the first time. When I saw the order of play, I was incredibly excited. I messaged our podcast group and said, 'I'm going to play on the Centre Court at Wimbledon! This is insane'. Everyone was surprised when I said I had never played there before".

A specialist in advancing in Grand Slams

"It's something I'm incredibly proud of. If someone had told me when I started my career that I would still be doing this many years later, it would probably be one of the things that excited me the most. I always wanted to be a player capable of consistently competing in the later rounds of Grand Slams. However, I am aware that this is just the first hurdle. From now on, each round is like a different tournament".

The key to overcoming Anisimova

"I felt that the match would be decided by who could capitalize on break opportunities first; we weren't going to have 45-shot rallies. After the first set, I stopped thinking that I needed to break her serve no matter what. My goal shifted to simply reaching 30-30 in her service games to apply a bit more pressure. I think focusing on that helped me a lot".

Noskova, her opponent in the round of 16

"In theory, having played against another big hitter helps; at least I know the type of ball I'll be facing, but Linda is in fantastic form. She just entered the top 10, won Berlin, and defeated top players. I know it's going to be a different and very challenging match".
