Kindness Wins creator Madison Keys isn't just a champion on the court, she's winning off the court by sprinkling kindness wherever she goes.

Last week, Keys and the non-profit organization celebrated their second annual "Kindness Wins Day." The world No. 13 took to instagram to thank everyone who has stepped up during this on-going crisis and urged followers to choose someone to recognize and give a shoutout to.

"To all of you who stepped up in our world’s time of need, is thank you even enough?" Keys said. "Your kindness, compassion and dedication to your jobs and us is something that deserves all of our kindness in return every day."

Along with first responders, the 2017 US Open finalist also thanked the Volvo Car Open in Charleston. The spring event is Keys' favorite tournament and it was intended to be the first site of a Kindness Wins event. However, due to COVID-19 the tournament and all its plans were canceled. Keys will instead a team captain for the 16-player event in Charleston in June.

"I never got to properly thank three women who would have made it possible," Keys said. "They generously volunteered so many hours to help plan the event asking nothing in return. Their kindness means so much to me."

The gratitude continued to pour out as she would then thank four-time Grammy award winner Seal. The two recently crossed paths when they partnered a few weeks ago for the IMG Tennis Stay at Home Slam.

"We never met but had a few video calls to get to know each other and I quickly learned he was one of the nicest people I had ever met," Keys said.

The pair would defeat 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams and her partner and fashion model Gigi Hadid in an intense virtual competition.

Keys was happily surprised when Seal reached out to her weeks later about how he could help during the Kindness Wins day.

"He’s not only a great person but, if it’s not clear from this video, he’s also really great at Mario Tennis and carried our team," Keys said in her latest Instagram post.

Over the last couple of months, Keys has been highly active on social media and using her platform and voice to radiate positive messages through her self-care routines, workouts and inspirational posts. Although she's not able to win any matches, she's continuing to make a difference and help the world win, one kind gesture at a time.
