XINYU WANG VS MADISON KEYS PREDICTION

World number 16 Madison Keys has been in vastly impressive form on clay so far this swing, reaching the semi-finals of the Madrid Open and quarter-finals in Rome before falling foul of eventual champion Iga Swiatek in both campaigns. The 29-year-old has beaten the likes of Ons Jabeur, Coco Gauff and Beatriz Haddad-Maia since late April to look a serious title contender here in Strasbourg and she should have little trouble rolling through to the last eight here.

World number 39 Xinyu Wang took Haddad-Maia to three sets before defeat at the Italian Open last time out, a round before Keys beat the Brazilian, and she continued her own improved performances on clay with a surprise straight-sets victory over Anna Kalinskaya on Monday. The Chinese looks ready to return to the form that saw her set a career-high of 32nd late last season but Keys has won both of their previous encounters in straight sets, including two months ago in Miami, to look too strong at this moment. Take the American to win in two.

XINYU WANG VS MADISON KEYS TIP: MADISON KEYS TO WIN 2-0
