Result
Madison Keys ended the home hopes in her section with a tidy hour's work on No. 1 Court, beating British wildcard Katie Swan 6-1 6-4. The No. 26 seed broke five times from twelve chances and gave Swan almost nothing on serve until a competitive second set. Swan fought — she carved out eight break points and converted two — but Keys' extra weight of shot (16 winners, and a 65%-to-55% edge on first-serve points) kept the pressure constant. The 2025 Australian Open champion is through to the third round without dropping a set.

At this Stage
The home crowd's interest in this section ended in a little over an hour. Madison Keys, the 26th seed and 2025 Australian Open champion, had been stretched to three sets by qualifier Kayla Day in round one; against British wildcard Katie Swan she was brisk and unsentimental, 6-1 6-4, with Swan's resistance confined to a competitive second set. Swan had earned the stage with a straight-sets win over Irina-Camelia Begu, one of the British contingent's round-one victories, but the gap in shot weight never narrowed. Keys advances to an all-American last-32 meeting with sixth seed Amanda Anisimova; the section's British interest departs with Swan, honourably.
