Madison Keys made a spalsh by taking down the Wimbeldon champ.
Teenage tennis phenom Madison Keys made a splash when she downed a Williams sister right in Philly's backyard.
The 14-year-old from Boca Raton, Fla. already looks like a pro at 5-foot-10 with a staggering 114 mph serve.
A sold out crowd witnessed the tennis marvel fulfill a lifelong dream when she took the court across from Serena Williams at Philadelphia Freedoms Stadium in King of Prussia, Pa. Monday. She was playing for the Freedoms when they took on the Washington Kastles in a World TeamTennis match.
No one expected Keys to upset the reigning Wimbledon champion by an ample margin of 5-1 but she did it anyhow.
The Freedom ultimately lost the match 19-18, but Keys’ win over Serena was the highlight of the competition.
Now will the win over Serena be just a small glimpse into the bright future of Madison Keys or will she like many teenage stars before fade from the spotlight.
