Champion’s simple opening line that had panel in stitches
Before the final started, a stat relating to US presidents was brought up on Nine’s coverage.
In this century, every time a new president is sworn into office in the USA when the Australian Open is happening, an American woman has won the Australian Open.
In 2001, when George W Bush won, it was Jennifer Capriati.
In 2009, when Barack Obama was sworn in, Serena Williams won.
Williams won again in 2017 when Trump was elected.
And now in 2025, Keys is the winner after Trump’s win.
She didn’t find it that intriguing though.
“That’s really weird,” she said on Nine.
“I mean, go me for continuing it but that’s weird.”
