After her 2-6 6-3 6-4 victory over Diana Shnaider on Friday at Queen’s Club, Madison Keys signed the camera simply: “Another one.”
Another day, another stellar performance – another win. That’s how it goes for the 30-year-old American, who is in the midst of her finest season as a professional.
In January Keys won her maiden major title and reeled off a career-best winning streak of 16 victories before finally losing to World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals at Indian Wells. Since then the American, who ranks third in the WTA’s Race to Riyadh standings, has continued her winning ways.
She went 9-4 on the clay and reached her 12th career major quarterfinal before falling to eventual champion Coco Gauff in three sets.
Now back on the grass, Keys hasn’t skipped a beat. She took out World No.12 Shnaider to reach the semifinals on Friday, and will face Tatjana Maria next.
Maria stunned former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina 6-4, 7-6(4) in Friday's second quarterfinal in London.
Second-seeded Keys improves to 30-7 on the season, and 50-16 overall on grass.
After dropping the opening set, Keys didn’t drop serve across sets two and three against Shnaider.
Keys already has six more wins in 2025 than she earned all of last year. Her career-best number of wins in a single season was 46, achieved in 2016.
