Madison Keys vs Daria Kasatkina – Match Predictions
Contents
Madison Keys to Win
American Madison Keys trails behind Daria KAsatkina in WTA rankings but will fancy her chances against the Russian ace. The duo have been at loggerheads against each other since August 2016 and matches between them have been one directional. Keys has triumphed on eight of their nine duels and barring any mishap should continue her dominance over the 8th-ranked Kasatkina.
2-0 to Madison Keys
After dominating Magda Linette in the first round, Keys struggled to finish the job in the second. However, she was at her best in the third, claiming it 6-1 to force her way into the quarter-finals. In her nine duels with Kasatkina, three sets have only been seen twice. Keys’ only defeat came in this fashion and will be unwilling to down that path again. However, after her easy dismantling of Linette in the sets she won, we are backing the American to triumph in straight sets.
Madison Keys vs Daria Kasatkina Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in this tournament.
Madison Keys
Magda Linette went down in the first set without putting up a fight. She broke Madison Keys’ serve at the first time of asking before going on to secure the second set. The deciding round was supposed to be exciting but it was a one-way affair dominated by the WTA 22-ranked Keys. The 28-year-old American is in the second quarter-final of the 2023 campaign and will want to go one better in Daniel Island. She was knocked out in this stage by compatriot Coco Gauff in Dubai Open.
Daria Kasatkina
It has been a disappointing campaign for Daria Kasatkina so far. With the exception of her Adelaide Open final defeat to Belinda Bencic, the Russian has struggled to put together a series of victories. She has overcome that jinx in Charleston and will want to give a decent account of her abilities at the Family Circle Tennis Center. Madison Brengle and Bernarda Pera did not put up a fight against her in the previous rounds but she will be ready to expect a tougher test of her abilities by the domineering Keys.
Madison Keys vs Daria Kasatkina Head to Head
This is the tenth meeting between Madison Keys and Daria Kasatkina. The balance of results has tilted in favour of Keys, who has triumphed on eight occasions. Kasatkina’s sole triumph was not easy to achieve, coming in a three-set marathon in Melbourne Open where she saved 11 breakpoints.
