In a stunning turn of events at the Australian Open, American tennis player Madison Keys triumphed over Aryna Sabalenka, the two-time defending champion.

Competing in her second Grand Slam final, Keys secured the title with a 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 victory, marking her first major win. The 29-year-old achieved this remarkable feat by defeating top-seeded opponents, including No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and No. 2 Iga Swiatek.

Keys' victory halted Sabalenka's pursuit of a third consecutive Australian Open championship, a streak last seen by Martina Hingis more than two decades ago.
