      Keys, ranked 14th and seeded 19th, was playing in her second major final after being the runner-up at the 2017 US Open Melbourne: When Madison Keys stepped into Rod Laver Arena at 7:37 p.m. on Saturday night ahead of the Australian Open final, she strode right past the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup, the trophy that goes to the women’s champion and was placed on a pedestal near the entrance to the court.

      Indian spinners dominate to restrict England to 165/9 in 2nd T20I in Chennai

      India vice-captain Axar Patel (2/32) was the beneficiary of England batters’ adventurous intentions Chennai: Jos Buttler showed semblance of fight but other English batters didn’t follow skipper’s suit while succumbing to Indian spinners, as the visitors were restricted to an underwhelming 165/9 in the second T20I here on Saturday.
