Madison Keys of the United States has upset two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 in the Australian Open final.

Jo Durie wasn't impressed with Aryna Sabalenka breaking a racket moments after the Australian Open final ended as the former British tennis star thought it "took away the moment" from Madison Keys. Moments after the American hit a forehand winner that sealed a 6-3 2-6 7-5 victory for her, she shook the Belarusian's hands and went to her team.

The newlywed Keys, whose husband and coach is former American tennis player Bjorn Fratangelo, said after some much needed sleep, they'll be "back to work on Monday" to prepare for "lots of tournaments" including the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells and the Miami Open back to back in March.
