Denmarkification was created by Xåvier Dutoit, an activist identified by the campaign as its “Chief Pastry Officer.” He says that he aimed to show Americans how

Keys reflects on winning maiden major title

The newly minted Australian Open champion Madison Keys' journey towards her first major trophy has been quite the roller coaster. Keys dominated the field in Melbourne, beating 4 of the top 10 seeds including the world's top 2 players - Iga Świątek in the semis and Aryna Sabalenka in the final. It's been a long time coming, Keys turned professional just after her 14th birthday, but there were a lot of ups and downs before her major breakthrough - just before her 30th birthday. Madison is back in the United States now, and just caught up with CNN World Sport's Don Riddell. He asked her if she'd had a chance yet to wrap her head around how it feels and what it means to finally win her first major title.
