Who Are Madison Keys’ Parents Christine Keys And Rick Keys?
Madison Keys was born to her proud parents Christine Keys and Rick Keys, both attorneys; Rick was also an athlete who played Division III All-American College basketball player at Augustana College.
Keys’ interest in tennis arose when she was only 4-year-old when she witnessed Wimbledon on television; it made her want to own a white tennis dress. When she asked her parents to get her a tennis dress, they insisted she had to play if they fulfilled her wish. Since then, Madison started playing tennis, got lessons, and competed in tournaments at nine, and the rest is history.
As her dad was an athlete in his youth, he supported her daughter and never pushed her to follow in their footsteps to become an attorney. Had her parents not been supportive and killed her interest back then, she would not have been where she is today.
