Madison Keys will miss the Australian Open after undergoing wrist surgery, she announced Friday, but also had good news to share.
The world's eighth-ranked player plans to be reunited with coach Lindsay Davenport upon her return, a development she said "I am very excited about."
Keys in 2016 enjoyed the best year of her career, surging into the top 10 in the rankings for the first time and qualifying for the season-ending WTA Finals in Singapore. However, the 21-year-old American recently underwent arthroscopic surgery on her left wrist, which will cause her to miss the first grand slam of 2017, which begins Jan.
