Madison Keys vs Yuliia Starodubtseva prediction

Madison Keys reached her first semi final of 2026 with a fine victory over Belinda Bencic. 

The American fought back to secure a 4-6 6-3 6-2 win over the Swiss third seed.

Keys will now be a firm favourite to progress to the final when she meets world number 89 Yuliia Starodubtseva.

The Ukrainian made it eight wins from her last nine outings with a solid 6-4 6-4 success over McCartney Kessler.

This will be their first encounter and it’s hard to look past Keys given her heavy hitting style and pedigree at this stage of tournaments. Starodubtseva should not be underestimated given her recent level, but if the American maintains rhythm she will be tough to stop.
