Madison Keys vs Daria Saville prediction

Madison Keys began the season very strongly, winning her maiden Grand Slam title in Melbourne at the start of the year. She followed that up with a strong showing in Indian Wells, reaching the semi-finals. Her form has taken a dip since then, with her best result on clay so far this season being a quarter-final appearance at the Madrid Open where she lost in three sets to Iga Swiatek despite taking the first set 6-0.

Keys is looking to win consecutive Grand Slam titles and her first in Paris, having made the semi-finals here in 2018. Her opponent in round one is Daria Saville. The Australian made it through qualifying with wins over Heather Watson, Daphnee Mpetshi Perricard and Taylor Townsend. Her standout tournament this year was a run from the qualifiers to the semi-finals of the Merida Open, beating Paula Badosa along the way.

They’ve played each other twice but there last match was all the way back in 2017, with the head-to-head currently at 1-1. Saville once threatened the top 20 around that time but she has massively struggled with injuries since then. Keys should be expected to win in straight sets.
