US Open 2016: Madison Keys on the Cusp of Grand Slam Glory


Madison Keys is definitely part of the future of women's tennis and she once again shows her potential by becoming the pick to get the semifinal slot on her side of the draw.

While the upper part of the draw saw the two veteran Williams sisters as draw favorites, the upper part of the lower draw sees another American as the pick, just through head-to-heads.

It's just going to take a matter of time before Madison Keys finally breaks through and win that grand slam title. She has been to the semifinal and quarterfinal of a grand slam already, and this year, she has consistently reached the fourth round of all the past three slams.

So she's really in there in the mix of the dark horse favorites to pull through, if all the stars align. Her side of the draw has some big names, including French Open champion Garbine Muguruza, Johanna Konta, 2016 Olympic champion Monica Puig and two-time grand slam champion Svetlana Kuznetsova.

She might meet two of those before she proceeds to possibly meet Kerber in the semi's and possibly one of the Williams sisters in the final.
