MADISON KEYS VS MAYAR SHERIF PREDICTION

World number 12 Madison Keys won her ninth WTA title at the Strasbourg 500 last weekend, beating red-hot Danielle Collins in the final to maintain a spotless campaign. The 29-year-old came desperately close to reaching a second US Open final last summer, handing eventual runner-up Aryna Sabalenka a first-set bagel before being edged out, and after a spell of injury at the start of this year she looks hell-bent at maintain that form.

World number 53 Mayar Sherif has endured a series of her own near misses in recent weeks, finishing runner-up in three clay finals at the Lleida Challenger, Parma Challenger and last weekend’s Rabat Open, The 28-year-old conceded just four games to Yue Yuan on Tuesday, with Keys conceding five to Renata Zarazua, but she looks the underdog on recent results, particularly as Keys is usually rock solid at Grand Slam level. Back Keys to win outright, with Sherif well capable of forcing a decider.
