Keys named in Forbes' 30 Under 30 for 2019

Madison Keys has earned a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Sports list for 2019, which spotlights the next generation. The 23-year-old is the only tennis player listed alongside a crew of talented gymnasts, golfers, skiers and more.

“Madison Keys is part of the impressive post-Serena Williams wave of American women tennis players climbing through the game's ranks,” her Forbes profile reads. “She is in the top ten of the world rankings, the first American woman to do so since Williams, and has already finished in the top four at a major four times in her young career. Keys also does advocacy with anti-bullying group Fearlessly Girl.”

The world No. 17 is the third highest ranked American behind Sloane Stephens (No. 6) and Serena Williams (No. 16).

Her 2018 highlights included reaching the semifinal rounds at Roland Garros and the US Open. She also reached the quarterfinals at the Australian Open.

Last year's 30 Under 30 sports category had two tennis players, Jack Sock and Stephens.
