Madison Keys vs Donna Vekic prediction
Madison Keys exacted revenge for her defeat to Anna Kalinskaya in Charleston three weeks ago as she beat the Russian 7-5 7-6 in a close contest in the third-round. It wasn’t pretty at times, with the Australian Open champion going 3-0 in the second set but she was especially potent when it came to her break point opportunities, taking all four that were on offer.
Keys, a semi-finalist here last year, now takes on Donna Vekic for a place in the last-eight as she looks to defend her WTA points. Vekic came from a set down to beat 11th seed Emma Navarro 4-6 6-3 6-2.
Keys leads the head-to-head 3-1 and has won their two encounters on clay, in Rome seven years ago and at the French Open in 2016. Their most recent match took place just a month ago at Indian Wells in the fourth-round, with Keys coming from a set down to win a tight match 4-6 7-6 (5) 6-3.
The American seems to always have the upper hand against Vekic and we back her to win this one too.
