Woohoo! Maddy does it! Wins this thing on her 2nd CP. Great job. She beat #2 and #1 to win her maiden slam. I am very happy to be wrong. I thought Saba would do it in 3.

Sorry that is bad sportsmanship Madison deserved her win, even when she lost the 2nd set, she held tough and believed

Maybe mate, but it's not her moment. Suck it up.

Yes great win. What an Australian tour she's had, winning adelaide and now melbourne AO !
Thoroughly well deserved a popular win. This final is shades of Angelique's 2016 win over Serena who just like Sabalenka here, was a huge favourite to win. Go Madison

What a brilliant match Keys played. She kept her cool and again like in semis she really took the match. Really glad for her. Saba furious at the end while Keys made all those winners.l. I think Saba expected Maddy to fold, but she never did. Keys played match of her life, quality was quite high IMO.

I expected Madison to fold also, but the second set score was slightly flattering - Keys was still in there fighting and competing.

what on earth Sabalenka. I'm a fan of your game, but that nonsense after the loss wasn't it!
Well done Keys. I thought you were going to figure out a way to lose. She should have multiple slams by now. I hope this is the start of something

Yes, she had the better preparation, winning at adelaide (my hometown) and now the AO both in style !!!
Won CP w/ a winner. That hardly ever happens. Usually the last point is won on an error.
Congrats to you Antipusher!! what a beautiful wedding present for Maddy and her husband.
