Keys Advances to Wimbledon Third Round After Wins in London

American Madison Keys, seeded No. 6 and ranked No. 8, has advanced to the third round of Wimbledon after defeating Olga Danilovic 6-4, 6-2 following a hard-fought first-round victory over Elena-Gabriela Ruse. Keys survived a grueling three-set match against Ruse, overcoming extreme heat conditions and her opponent's medical issues, including cramping and a medical timeout. Despite Ruse's early lead and challenging moments such as an underarm serve that nearly cost Keys the match, Keys demonstrated resilience by winning four consecutive games in the second set and ultimately closing out the match in the third. This victory continues Keys' strong record at Wimbledon, where she aims to reach the semifinals for the first time, having previously made quarterfinals in 2015 and 2023. Keys praised her serve as a key factor in navigating the tough conditions and opponent's performance. She will next face the winner of the match between Leylah Fernandez and Laura Siegemund.
