Got some questions re Madison Keys skipping @FedCup tie:
Was told that USTA and Keys reached agreement at Indian Wells for her to skip the tie since she needed a good training block (which she did not get after AO due to injury) and Serena and Venus had committed. Part of that agreement was that Keys wouldn't get called in last minute should the U.S. lineup change because it would require her to completely rejigger her training schedule.
All that is consistent with what Keys told reporters in Charleston, that the leg injury in Melbourne sidelined her in February and she only trained for a few days before Indian Wells. The run in Charleston was straight up unexpected. Is now in Los Angeles training with Lindsay and Jon, next tournament is the Madrid Open.
