Aryna Sabalenka vs Madison Keys Prediction

Aryna Sabalenka delivered a professional display against Liudmila Samsonova to move into the semi-finals of the Indian Wells Open for the second time in her career.

The top seed won nine games in a row at one point against Samsonova and it is that high level that she will need to operate at consistently in order to defeat Madison Keys, and avenge her loss to the American in the final of the Australian Open in January.

Now on a run of 16 straight wins on tour, Madison Keys is at the very top of her game at the moment and that was on full display in her utterly dominant 6-1, 6-1 defeat of Belinda Bencic in the quarter-finals.

Keys hit 30 winners in that contest and she clearly feels like she can go for her shots right now. It was that positive mentality in the big moments that earned her a maiden Grand Slam title in Melbourne, which prevented an Australian Open three-peat for Sabalenka.

In what is sure to be another thrilling encounter between two of the top players on tour, we’re tipping Keys to edge it in the decider.
