THE LOWDOWN
MADISON KEYS
World number 51 Madison Keys made it six wins in a row after taking her Adelaide 2 title-winning form into the first round of the Australian Open with a brilliant straight-sets victory over 2020 champion Sofia Kenin. The 26-year-old finished runner-up to Sloane Stephens in the 2017 US Open final and she looks to be returning to the kind of form that got her there after impressive victories over Coco Gauff and Elina Svitolina last week.
JAQUELINE CRISTIAN
23-year-old Jaqueline Cristian will break her current career-high WTA world ranking of 69th after a straight-sets victory over Greet Minnen on her Grand Slam debut. The Romanian reached a first WTA tour final late last year before losing in three sets to Alison Riske at the Linz Open.
THE PREDICTION
Jaqueline Cristian has found some excellent form over the last few months that is changing the course of her career in tennis but this is a seriously tough draw. Madison Keys’ WTA world ranking has never truly matched up to what she is capable of, especially at the big-time events on tour, and her defeat of former champion Sofia Kenin is a working level a few floors above Cristian at this moment in time. Take Keys to win in straight sets here, although the sensible pick is an outright one with Cristian in the form of her life.
