Maddie tough opponent but you were on fire today Maddie on a mission what was the plan cuz you obviously executed it pretty flawlessly I feel like after the first couple of games kind of you know figured some things out and felt a lot better and more comfortable out on the court and really just trying to be aggressive I knew that at any moment she could hit some incredible shots so I knew just to kind of try to weather the storm and really focus on my side of the court and especially serve well um just because she's such a great spot server and uh just knowing that return games were going to be a little bit more difficult so really just trying to take care of my service games was the biggest thing how proud are you of your resilience uh you've won a title already it's almost tempting to forget you've had a challenging season you've had to push through a lot and yet here you are looking incredible in in your form you got to be proud with just the resilience and the toughness to push through and produce this level of tennis yeah I'm really proud with all the hard work I've put in this year I missed the beginning of the Season being injured had a really great clay Court Season had a heartbreaker at Wimbledon um had to rehab again so uh coming back from a lot this year but I feel like I'm just playing some really good tennis and really have to be here for I think you said the 15th time 10th main draw 10th main draw wow it's a lot of years uh help us out we are all looking for a little relationship advice uh you and Bjorn work together a lot and yet your relation I can't hang out with my wife for too long without us fighting about something how is this working what's the key the secret teach us all relationship advice I think it helped that we barely saw each other for the first like 5 years of our relationship as we were both playing and then we've basically seen each other every single day for over a year and we still like each other we're still getting married so things are good amazing all right I um I first of all I hope my wife never sees this but Maddie to step out I mentioned the fact that you were coming out to play on this court and this place lost its Collective mind like how fun to be back on us soil playing here in New York in front of so much love I mean it has to be a meaning thing playing in New York is the greatest thing in the world and being able to come out here and have an amazing crowd every single time I step on the court is the absolute greatest honor and one of my absolute favorite things about being a tennis player the feeling is clearly Mutual Madison Keys New York
