Following that victory, Keys sat on the chair smiling and with tears in her eyes. The video was shared on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — which gained a lot of attention. The most special aspect of Keys’ triumph was the fact that she defeated the world number one and world number two in the semifinal and final to win a Grand Slam.

"I feel like this is the best honeymoon ever. This is perfect," she said. "I have the most supportive, best husband in the entire world, who didn't even want to coach me," Keys said on Channel Nine TV straight after lifting the trophy. And I was like, please, please come with me. So it took some arm-twisting, and he has just been the most supportive, and he's fully believed in me every step of the way. I have absolutely the greatest team. They have really believed in me in the moments that I didn't believe in myself. They helped me completely rebuild after some pretty gnarly injuries last year. And if it wasn't for those three people who have been cheering me on all week through all of the three-set matches, I wouldn't be here."
