Madison Keys vs Peyton Stearns prediction
Madison Keys will hope it’s a case of third time lucky against Peyton Stearns.
The 17th seed has been in excellent form recently, but trails 2-0 in the head-to-head with Stearns, who beat Keys 2-6 6-2 7-6 at this tournament last year.
World number 49 Stearns was too wily for Janice Tjen in the first round as she notched up a 6-4 6-4 success.
Keys is a very tidy competitor on the clay and will be eager to get on the board in this match-up.
Peyton will be confident given their previous engagements, but if Maddy fires on the day, she’ll be difficult to halt.
Madison Keys vs Peyton Stearns tip: Over 2.5 sets
