Home improvement, wedding dress shopping have been on injured Madison Keys' to-do list

Madison Keys' tearful exit from Wimbledon due to a mid-match hamstring injury was one of the sorest sights of the Championships, but the American is using her time off in the weeks since to turn lemons into lemonade.

The first order of business? Home improvement. For the better part of the last year, Keys has been chronicling the upgrades that she and fiance and former ATP pro Bjorn Fratangelo have been making to their built-in-1929 Orlando home on social media, and her latest update shows that the former Top 10 player is keeping busy after one of her "toughest moments ever on court."

Some of the recently-finished touches on the couple's digs include a new coffee bar (Keys estimated that they've brewed more than 15 lattes since returning from Europe), and fresh wallpaper in their laundry room.

Coming soon? A fresh coat of paint to the guest bathroom, and new sealing, plumbing and counters in the master bathroom.

The second? Wedding dress shopping. Keys and Fratangelo got engaged last year, and while there's no update on a wedding date just yet, Keys dropped a hint to close out her newest post that she will have more than one look for her special day.

But personal news wasn't the only thing that Keys caught fans up on with her post. She also provided an update on the injury that forced her to retire from that fateful fourth-round match against eventual finalist Jasmine Paolini at the All England Club, and the prognosis is good.

"The leg is feeling a lot better and my rehab has been going really well. Luckily the injury wasn’t too severe so hopefully I’ll be back soon," she wrote.

Though she was the fourth highest-ranked American at the entry deadline, Keys elected to skip the Paris Olympics even before her injury, saying at Wimbledon that the early-season shoulder injury that forced her to miss the Australian Open contributed to the "tough" decision.

The 2017 US Open finalist is instead expected to kick off her hard-court season at the WTA 500 in Washington, D.C., which begins on July 29.
