Now, there was a time that the biracial Keys refused to identify herself as black, but that isn't stopping people from claiming her anyway
Yes, in a January 2015 New York Times article, Keys, now 22, said, "I don’t really identify myself as white or African-American. I’m just me. I’m Madison.” However, as one Twitter user pointed out, that doesn't negate what she is.
On the other side of the court, Stephens has come a long way from earlier this year
True, indeed. Stephens had foot surgery to repair a stress fracture in January and lost in straight sets in first-round action at Wimbledon earlier this summer. And now she's in the US Open Final! If that's not #BlackGirlMagic, we don't know what is.
This 2017 Tennis season began with Serena and venus in the australian open and will end with Sloane and Madison in the US Open
How dope is that?
