Madison Keys, a 14-year-old from Boca Raton, Fla., made her WTA Tour debut a memorable one, upsetting Russia’s Alla Kudryavtseva 7-5, 6-4 on Monday in the MPS Group Championships in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. “I actually got into tennis because of Venus and Serena (Williams),” Keys said. “I was watching Wimbledon one year, and Venus was playing and I really liked how she was playing, but I also liked her outfit. I told my dad I wanted a dress like Venus, and he said, ‘Only if you play tennis.’ So, I went to Walgreen’s, got a racket and started playing.” The Associated Press
