Madison Keys vs Hailey Baptiste prediction

Madison Keys will be eyeing a return to the French Open quarter-finals for the first time since 2019 when she takes on fellow American Hailey Baptiste.

The Australian Open champion has yet to taste defeat in a Grand Slam match this year and came through a stern test against Sofia Kenin 4-6 6-3 7-5 last time out.

In contrast, Baptiste is enjoying her best ever run at a major with notable wins over Beatriz Haddad Maia and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the previous round. 

The 23-year-old world number 70 has met Keys on three other occasions and trails 2-1 in the head-to-head. 

Keys won at Indian Wells last year and also triumphed in straight sets on the clay in Charleston two years back. 

The way the seventh seed is striking the ball right now makes her a problem for any opponent, particular with the 30-year-old’s confidence sky high. 

Keys seems to find a way even when the going gets tough at present and she will expect to take out the lower-ranked American here.
