Jessica Pegula ousts defending Australian Open champion Madison Keys

Jessica Pegula was driven by extra motivation in her fourth-round win over defending Australian Open champion Madison Keys – avoiding wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey.

Pegula and Keys are close friends away from the court and present The Player’s Box podcast together along with fellow American players Jennifer Brady and Desirae Krawczyk.

The pair agreed that the winner of the clash would get to choose a forfeit for the loser and, had Keys won, Pegula, whose parents own the Buffalo Bills, would have had to don a Travis Kelce/Taylor Swift Chiefs jersey.

Cheddar cheese on apple pie - can the Canadians in the house confirm if this is a thing?
