Breaking: Madison Keys is now being coached by Lindsay Davenport who will work during off season but @LDavenport76 wont be full time in 2015

Keys, who nabbed her first title in Eastbourne this summer, finished 2014 with a record of 31-23. She reached three semifinals and had a 2-4 record against the top ten, with both of those wins coming in Eastbourne (d. Jankovic, d. Kerber). The American, who became the 7th-youngest WTA player to win a match when she won in Ponte Vedra as a 14-year-old in 2009, has long been considered one of the biggest, brightest American prospects.

Davenport confirmed the agreement via Twitter on Thursday. The two are expected to work together during the off-season and the plan is for Keys to hire a full-time coach.

Thanks for some nice messages today. Excited to be on court and help Madison until she finds a full time coach. This off season will be fun
