Through a recent Instagram story, Fratangelo expressed his heartfelt message to a fan who collected his player trading card. He shared:
"Better if you follow my coaching career at this point 🤪"
Madison Keys' coach and husband is a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and became a professional tennis player in 2012.

Bjorn Fratangelo reflects on his coaching relationship with Madison Keys
Bjorn Fratangelo also gave an insight into how their on-court coaching relationship began after they started having conversations regarding the sport.
"I think it kind of started when we kind of had a little more tennis dialogue in our relationship. She was just bouncing ideas off of me and stuff. It was the first time I was giving input back. Then it just came to a point where we started and decided that I was going to be with her full time," he mentioned via ATP Tour's official site.
He continued,
"I think she's nowhere near her full potential. Sharpening the axe can get you far, but sometimes you need new tools. That's what I've tried to bring to the table. And I think she's done an unbelievable job at being receptive and taking that on."
Before Fratangelo joined Keys' coaching staff, she was coached by former Spanish player Georgi Rumenov Payakov. Over the course of her career, Keys has clinched 10 WTA career singles titles.
