Qinwen Zheng vs Madison Keys prediction
Qinwen Zheng defeated Sloane Stephens in the second-round of the Miami Open. She did go a break down in the first set but that was the only break point she conceded as she then reeled off eight games in a row to take the first set and go a double break up in the second. Zheng won 6-3 6-2 after one hour and 19 minutes.
Madison Keys is her next opponent. It was a dominant win for the American as she beat Elena-Gabriela Ruse. Keys had been tested by Ruse in their previous two matches, but this was a dominant win as the 2025 Australian Open champion conceded just the three games on her way to winning 6-0 6-3.
They have faced off on one previous occasion, with Keys defeating Zheng in straight sets two years ago in Washington. Zheng is still getting back to speed following elbow surgery, and she hasn’t competed in too many events so far in 2026. It is a big ask for her to get past someone like Keys.
