Madison Keys vs Karolina Muchova prediction

Madison Keys comes into the round of 16 with this run representing her second-best performance in this tournament since reached the final back in 2016. This is however arguably the best and most consistent year of her outstanding career and her confidence and belief is sky high right now.

She started slowly against compatriot Caty McNally losing the first set but she battled back and found her form quickly to win out 2-6 6-3 6-3. 

She will not be afforded that luxury in this round of 16 clash with Karolina Muchova who will pose a stiffer test and will likely not let her back into it if she starts so poorly.

Muchova had to dig deep herself to come back from a set down against Belinda Bencic as she won 6-7 6-2 6-3. On another day, she could easily have lost that match as Bencic only took one of her 11 break points and the Swiss star had better numbers in various different statistics.

It is remarkable given that the pair have been around for some time, that they have only ever met once before. Keys won that match albeit back in 2019 in Beijing.

Our preference in this one is Keys. The American just has the edge in the quality of her play right now and we think she can just edge Muchova in the key areas although this really is a match that could swing either way.
