Yearly summary
Keys opened her season at Auckland, where she lost in the quarterfinals to eventual champion Clara Tauson.[2] Keys won the Adelaide International, defeating top seed Jessica Pegula in the final in three sets.[3][4] It was her ninth career singles title.[5]
Seeded 19th at the Australian Open, she defeated 10th seed Danielle Collins,[6] 6th seed Elena Rybakina[7][8], and 28th seed Elina Svitolina to reach the semifinals. As a result, she returned to the top 10 in the singles rankings.[9] In the semifinals, Keys upset world No. 2, Iga Świątek, in three sets, coming from a set down (the first semifinalist to do so since Venus Williams in 2017) and a match point down to reach the second major final of her career, eight years after being the US Open finalist.[10][11] In the final, Keys defeated world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka to win her first major title and return to her career-high ranking of world No. 7.[12] She was the first player to win a major after defeating both the world No. 1 and world No. 2 at the Australian Open since Serena Williams in 2005 and at any major since Svetlana Kuznetsova at the 2009 French Open.[13][14] Her two further wins over top-10 seeds (No. 6 Rybakina and No. 10 Collins) made her the fourth woman (after Evonne Goolagong Cawley at Wimbledon, Mary Pierce at the Australian Open, and Li Na at Roland Garros) to defeat four top-10 seeded opponents en route to a major title. At 29, she became both the oldest first-time women's Australian Open champion and the player with the longest gap between their first two major finals in the Open Era.[15][16][17][18][19]
On February 24, Keys entered the top 5 for the first time in her career, reaching a ceer high ranking of No. 5. On her return to the tour following her Australian Open title, in Indian Wells, fifth seed Keys defeated Anastasia Potapova in straight sets, recording a bagel in the second set.[20] She then defeated Elise Mertens and Donna Vekić in consecutive three-set matches to extend her winning streak to 15 matches in a row. She beat wildcard player Belinda Bencic in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, she lost 0-6, 1-6 to top seed Aryna Sabalenka in a rematch of their Australian Open final, snapping her 16 match win streak.[21]
Keys was upset by wild card Alexandra Eala in the third round of Miami.[22] She also lost in the third round of Charleston to Anna Kalinskaya.[23] She advanced to the quarterfinals of Madrid, where she lost in three sets to Świątek in a rematch of the previous year's semifinal.[24] She lost in a third set tiebreak to Peyton Stearns in the third of Rome.[25] She chose not to defend her title in Strasbourg.
Seeded 7th at Roland Garros, Keys reached the quarterfinals for the first time since 2019. She defeated Daria Saville, Katie Boulter, Sofia Kenin (saving match points),[26] and Hailey Baptiste to do so.[27] In the quarterfinals, she won the first set but lost in three to eventual champion Coco Gauff.[28] This ended Keys's major match win streak at 11.
On grass courts, Keys made the semifinals of the Queen's Club Championships, where she was upset by eventual champion Tatjana Maria.[29] She was upset in the first round of Berlin by former Wimbledon champion Markéta Vondroušová, who went on to win the title.[30] Seeded 6th at Wimbledon, Wimbledon, she was upset in the third round by Laura Siegemund.[31]

For the second consecutive year, Keys did not play the Asian swing. Nevertheless, she qualified for the WTA Finals for the first time since 2016.[36] Seeded 7th, Keys lost her opening round robin match to Świątek in her first match since the US Open.[37] In her second match, she lost in three sets to Amanda Anisimova despite leading by a set and a break.[38] Having already been eliminated from semifinal contention, Keys withdrew from her last round robin match against Rybakina due to illness, being replaced by Ekaterina Alexandrova (after Mirra Andreeva declined to take her spot).[39] Keys finished the year ranked No. 7, her highest year end ranking in her career.
