THE PREDICTION
World number 16 Madison Keys passed a significant test on Saturday with a three-set victory over clay-court enthusiast Beatriz Haddad-Maia, backing-up a three-setter over Bogota champion Camila Osorio. The 29-year-old impressed in victories over Coco Gauff and Ons Jabeur en-route to the semi-finals of the Madrid Masters two weeks ago, where it took eventual champion Iga Swiatek to out her.
World number 32 Sorana Cirstea also grabbed a huge result on clay, beating sixth seed Marketa Vondrousova to reach the round of 16 without yet dropping a set. The 34-year-old, like Keys, is an excellent all-court threat at her best and she also, like Keys, has reached the semi-finals of a Masters tournament this season after just missing out to eventual champion Jasmine Paolini in Dubai back in February. Cirstea beat Keys in three sets at the Madrid Open five years ago, in their only completed meeting so far, but Keys’ battling victory over Haddad-Maia says this will likely go down to the wire too. Back Keys to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: MADISON KEYS TO WIN A SET
