AUSTRALIAN OPEN


January 26, 2016


Madison Keys


Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

S. ZHANG/M. Keys

3-6, 6-3, 6-3

(From WTA recording.)

Q. Talk about the injury, what you had, and when it first really started to bother you.
MADISON KEYS: Kind of did at the end of the first set and then just got worse and worse.

Yeah, I think just probably pulled, tore an adductor. Yeah, it's pretty much it.

Q. Had you felt it against Ana, that same injury?
MADISON KEYS: No. That was kind of my ab, which then also started to go in this match tonight.

Yeah, so that was something else. Yeah.

Q. Madison, why keep playing?
MADISON KEYS: I mean, you don't want to -- one, I hate retiring; two, you don't want to do that to someone who is trying to get in the quarterfinals.

Q. Was there a hope that if you played on you maybe able to get better for the quarterfinals?
MADISON KEYS: Yeah. I thought maybe I could figure it out and somehow get through and then have a day off and try.

But obviously that didn't happen.

Q. Is the leg problem something -- you've had problems in the past I think, right?
MADISON KEYS: Yep.

Q. Same spot? Similar thing?
MADISON KEYS: Yep.

Q. Any thoughts on how to solve it?
MADISON KEYS: Trying. If you have a magic pill, let me know.

Q. It's kind of an obvious question, but how disappointed are you?
MADISON KEYS: I don't think there is a word for it.

Q. How frustrating is it having put all that work in in the off-season and you feel like this is something that you've dealt with before and that's crept back up?
MADISON KEYS: Also don't think there's a word for it.

Q. Are you impressed with how long you were able to stay out there and compete at the highest level?
MADISON KEYS: I think on some shots I kind of just closed my eyes and kind of just slapped the ball. Not fully impressed with myself.

Yeah, but, I mean, you know, yay me for staying out there.

Q. The commentator on Channel 7 said without injury tonight you could win the match for sure. Do you think so?
MADISON KEYS: I don't know. You never know. You can't say that.

Q. Is there any regret at all?
MADISON KEYS: No, I don't think so.
