  • Intro:

    Madison Keys discusses making her first Grand Slam semi-final after defeating Venus Williams at the Australian Open on Wednesday (28th January).

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Madison Keys, unseeded American:
    (On tweaking in the second set the same injury that caused her to pull out of Wimbledon).

    "It was definitely kind of a flashback to Wimbledon for me. Have had some problems with that part of my leg. So it was kind of an overwhelming moment. It was kind of scary. But luckily was able to catch it before I did any real damage to it. You know, luckily the painkillers and adrenaline in the end kind of helped me get through it."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Madison Keys, unseeded American:
    (On how she will deal with the injury going into the semi-finals a day later).

    "It still hurts. Definitely going to be getting some treatment on that. Hoping I can get it as good as possible for tomorrow."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Madison Keys, unseeded American:
    (On what she is most proud of after her quarter-final win).

    "I think just being able to come back from being down and from not being able to move as well, not having as effective of a serve, just being able to kind of grind through that, still figure it out, manage to win some points, is what I'm most happy about."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Madison Keys, unseeded American:
    (On facing Serena Williams in the next round).

    "It's just one of those things where I have to go out and I have to do my best and I have to really just have to stay focused on my side of the court, because she's obviously very, very good and she's going to play very well. So if I get too focused on what she's doing I think I can kind of let the moment get away from me. So I'm just really going to stay focused on myself."
