But Keys took the first set 6-3 before dropping the second set 6-2. She held on to win the third set 7-5 to give the 29-year-old her first major title in her second appearance in a Grand Slam final.
Seeded 19th, Keys has now won 12 straight matches, including an upset of No. 2 Iga Swiatek in the semifinals on Thursday.
