High spirits helped Madison Keys Earn Happy Slam, says Coco Gauff.
Before the keys to the detached defense champion Aryna Sabalenka to look for her main daughter in Australian Open, the champion of the final WTA Guff noticed that her compatriot was in a positive place.
In offseason, Keys married partner and coach for a long time Bjorn Fratangelo in a Charleston wedding she called “the happiest day of my life”.
Gauff believes that personal happiness helped the keys to rest and reach the promised main land eight years and 25 big big appearances after she lost her big girl finale for good friend Sloane Stephens.
“She definitely has one of the highest levels in the tournament. Goodbye well, like, she gets a clash and she deserved it,” Guff told the keys. “She just looks much happier lately. I think that was a bigger change more than everything technically in her game.
“I think she just gives more positive – not that she’s always negative, but I feel like I can feel energy from people, and when I’m around her, she looks a little happier.
“Even before she won Australia, for me she felt as if she were happier around the closet room and things like that. I usually feel when the players are in that mentality they tend to do better. So it’s best to see it, like, and also be a happy kind as they do it.”
The fifth seed japans travel with a 14 -game winning attack on her round of Indian wells of 16 VS or Emma Navarro or Belinda Bencic clashes.
If the keys predominate and Gauff beat Belinda Bencic, then American energy players would be lit at the BNP Paribas Open quarter -finals.
