Boris Becker made his feelings known about "married life" after Madison Keys won the Australian Open title just months after marrying Bjorn Fratangelo. Keys got the better of Aryna Sabalenka in the final in Melbourne to earn her maiden Grand Slam.
After Keys triumphed at the Rod Laver Arena, an X account pointed out how she got married in November 2024, and two months later she became a Grand Slam champion as a married woman. Sharing the X post, German tennis legend, Becker, wrote:
"Married life is good for you !!!"
Notably, Becker has been married thrice. His first marriage was to Barbara Feltus in 1993, with whom he has two sons: Noah Gabriel and Elias Balthasar. The couple divorced in 2001.
In 2009, Becker married Lilly Kerssenberg, and they have a son named Amadeus. The couple separated in 2018. In 2024, Becker married Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro. The German also has a daughter named Anna, born from a 1999 encounter with a Russian waitress.
Meanwhile, Keys, who has been in a relationship with former ATP top 100 player Bjorn Fratangelo since 2017, recently tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony attended by several WTA stars, including Taylor Townsend and Jessica Pegula.
Competing in her first Slam as a married woman, with her husband as her coach, Keys triumphed and shared heartfelt words for her husband and team after the win.
Madison Keys expresses happiness to be able to win her first Grand Slam title with husband Bjorn Fratangelo by her side at Australian Open
During her post-match speech, Madison Keys reflected on her journey to her maiden Grand Slam title, expressing gratitude to her team for their unwavering support. She acknowledged the challenges of her past, including a previous Grand Slam final loss at the 2017 US Open.
Keys highlighted the difficulties she faced due to injuries but credited her team for helping her persevere. Speaking about her husband, she said:
"Last year was so tough with some really bad injuries and I didn't know if I was gonna be able to do it again and to be here and have this trophy and also be able to do it with my husband, who is kind of dazed and confused over there. Alright, love you all so much and cannot wait for more."
Aryna Sabalenka, despite the runner-up finish, will hold on to her World No. 1 rank. Meanwhile, Madison Keys will match her career-high World No. 7 with back-to-back titles in Adelaide and Melbourne.
