MADISON Keys has let the expletives fly after winning a tennis match at the US Open on Wednesday night.

The American will square off against incoming world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka on Thursday night’s semi-finals.
Keys has been coached throughout the US Open by her fiance and fellow tennis player Bjorn Fratangelo.
And during Wednesday’s match, Fratangelo was seen giving advice to the 27-year-old star.
After the 6-1 6-4 straight-set victory, Keys was asked about the “tactical help” that Fratangelo had provided to her.
Madison answered: “To be honest, I couldn’t hear s**t out there.”
Her remark caused the crowd to laugh as the interviewer then replied: “We can’t bleep you, Maddie.”
Keys then eyed Fratangelo in the crowd as she apologized and directed her attention to her fiance.
She said while laughing: “Sorry, but yeah, I couldn’t [hear] anything you were saying, so I was like, ‘yeah sure, got it.’”
Fans were left in awe of Keys’ NSFW comments on live television.
One said: “Love the honesty.”
Another wrote: “This makes me love Madison even more.”
And a third added: “She’s so iconic.”
Madison’s dominating win comes as a spectator needed medical attention after collapsing due to the extreme heat during the quarter-final.
She collected water and towels and handed them to the US Open medical staff who took them to the fan.
The match was stopped for eight minutes and resumed after the players rested in their seats.
Keys is hoping to play in her first Grand Slam final since the US Open in 2017 when she suffered a straight-sets loss to Sloane Stephens.
