Locker Room: Madison Keys
Apart from your tennis kit, is there anything that you never travel without?
I don’t think so. I kind of mix it all up. I have a ridiculous amount of hair products, though: shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, leavein conditioner, hair spray, bobby pins. There’s a lot of toiletries in my bag every tournament.
After a long stretch on the road, what’s the first thing you do when you get home?
I have an amazing closet in my room. I usually just go downstairs and open the doors and sit in my closet and look at all of the things that I missed. Then I usually just hang out with my family and my dogs.

When you won your first WTA title in Eastbourne in 2014, what did you do with your prize money?
