Madison Keys expressed shock that every other player jetted off to the Maldives, including Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka. Keys also wondered how the players, who are around each other on the tour all year long, hang out during the off-season vacation. Ad Madison Keys and Jessica Pegula joined Jennifer Brady and Desirae Krawczyk on the Players’ Box podcast, looking beyond on-court tennis, to discuss players’ lives and careers and to share personal anecdotes, among other topics. They recently touched on the players’ most common vacation destination, the Maldives, as tennis stars are literally bumping into each other on flights. Thanks for the submission! Keys referred to her fellow hosts and said that they haven’t been to the South Asian destination, but it seems like every other player is going. She was also curious about how the players, who are around each other on the tour, end up at the same getaway destination. Ad Trending “We can talk about everyone else’s vacation. The four of us did not go to the Maldives. We have never been to the Maldives. It seems as though every other tennis player seems to vacation there. I don’t know why we spend all of our time together all year long and then it seems like all of us then go to the same place and hang out together. I don’t know if there’s like multiple resorts that everyone goes to, but it’s quite literally everyone,” said Keys. (8: 44) Ad “I think this season it was Mertens, Sabalenka, did Jannick go, I mean Bencic did Vekic go? I think every year she usually goes. Donna does. So many people. Every year. Everyone goes except for us. We hold out and we’re not going. But do we like is it like do they go because it’s like a free vacation? Like they just post about it or is it just like this is the place to be because this is the most this is the closest place to be? Ad Ad The players who went to the Maldives post-season are Aryna Sabalenka, Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Jelena Ostapenko, Belinda Bencic, and others. Jannik Sinner shared a flight selfie with fellow ATP player Alexander Zverev on the flight to the Maldives Jannik Sinner and Zverev have been rivals on the tour, facing each other three times in 2025, both in the final stages and at the ATP Finals. Leading the head-to-head between them, Sinner has often come under backlash as the German once stated that tournament directors slowed down the courts to give an edge to the top two. Ad Cut to the off-season: the No. 1 and No. 3 bumped into each other on the flight, en route to the Maldives. Zverev shared a selfie with his rival, all smiles, and captioned: “I guess it’s maledives (sic) season for everyone hu?” Jannik Sinner defended his ATP Finals title this year and won the Australian Open and Wimbledon titles, extending his Major tally to four. × Feedback Why did you not like this content?
