Madison Keys’ Grand Slam window wasn’t just closing. It had been slammed shut. She has always been an excellent player, but it felt like women’s tennis had passed her by. Far from her peak in 2017, when she was ranked No.

What is your take on another option on the best-of-five Grand Slam matches for men: best three out of four sets and if the match is tied 2–2 then use the 10-point tiebreaker. Same ending as if it's five sets without having to play a fifth set.

Madison Keys says she kept telling herself to be brave down the stretch of a tight third set in the Australian Open final against two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka.
