Madison Keys won the 2025 Australian Open women's final, continuing a unique trend. Each time a new U.S. president has taken office during the tournament, an American woman has emerged as the champion. This pattern began in 2001 with Jennifer Capriati's victory when George W. Bush was elected. Serena Williams also won during Barack Obama's inauguration in 2009 and after Donald Trump's first term in 2017. Keys acknowledged the statistic but found it strange. The connection between U.S. politics and the Australian Open remains notable.
