"Got my wedding dresses" - Madison Keys shares update on wedding planning & home renovation, looks forward to comeback as she recovers from leg injury
Madison Keys gave a glimpse of her life off the court, as she opened up about her progress on injury recovery, and home renovation. The American also said that she received her wedding dresses.
Keys, who is currently ranked 14th in the world, revealed that she is currently recovering well from a hamstring injury that forced her to retire from her fourth-round match against Jasmine Paolini at Wimbledon 2024. The American had a decent run at the grass-court Major, defeating Martina Trevisan, Wang Yafan, and 18th seed Marta Kostyuk, in the previous rounds without dropping a set.
In the fourth round, the 29-year-old was leading 5-2 in the final set against Jasmine Paolini, when she started limping and needed a medical timeout. She tried to continue the match, but was unable to move well and had to retire at 5-5, ending her hopes of reaching a third Wimbledon quarterfinal.
In her Instagram reel, which she posted on July 19, Keys stated that her leg was feeling a lot better and that her rehab was also going well.
"The leg is feeling a lot better and my rehab has been going really well. Luckily the injury wasn’t too severe so hopefully I’ll be back soon," Keys captioned her reel.
Keys has also been working on renovating her home, which she said was close to being done. The former World No. 7 showed her followers how she makes almond milk lattes on her new coffee bar, which she said she was obsessed with.
The most exciting news that Keys shared, however, was about her wedding plans. The American said that she had got her wedding dresses, although she he did not reveal any other details about the date, venue, or theme.

"He actually did it at home. The day that I got back from Dubai so I was not expecting it at all," Keys said. “I was sitting on the couch and he was like ‘hey I have your birthday present’. He handed me something and then got down on one knee.”
“Just sitting on the couch so now we have to keep the couch forever,” Keys joked.
