Madison Keys’s title defense at the Australian Open ended in the fourth round at the hands of fellow American and WTA world No. 6 Jessica Pegula.
Pegula advanced to the quarterfinals in Melbourne with a two-set win over Keys—6-3, 6-4. The two co-host The Player’s Box podcast and Keys revealed they had a friendly bet on the outcome of their meeting in the round of 16. With the loss, Keys apparently has to eat apple pie with a piece of cheddar cheese on top of it at Pegula’s request. Yuck.
