Three months ago at Roland Garros, Keys and Rybakina played against each other. Madison won in three sets. At the moment in Cincinnati, Madison is in no way inferior to Elena, as evidenced by the victory over Swiatek in the previous round. What’s more, Keys has an efficient serve, which will help her at least to win a set.
In their recent encounter at Roland Garros, the two players played 29 games in three sets and had a tie-break in the deciding set. Both have a strong serve, which will cause them to play all three sets.
Madison Keys failed in two hard-court tournaments in San Jose and Toronto. We should remind you that she managed to win only one match at those tournaments. However, in Cincinnati, Madison has looked perfect so far.
Madison has defeated all her opponents by a score of 2-0 in sets, including world #1 Iga Swiatek (6-3, 6-4). Keys also had victories over Yulia Putintseva (7-5, 6-3) and Jelena Ostapenko (6-4, 7-5). On the hard court in Cincinnati, the serve is very important for Madison. In the game against Swiatek, she won 63% of the points on her serve.
In four of Madison Keys’ last five matches on hard court, more than 20 games have been played.
Elena Rybakina also had bad hard tournaments after the Wimbledon spectacular series. In San Jose and Toronto, she managed to win only one match out of three.
In Cincinnati, Elena had a very confident run through three rounds. At the start, there was a victory against Mayar Sheriff (6-3, 6-2). Then, she left no chance for Garbine Muguruza (6-3, 6-1). In the 1/8 finals, she managed to defeat Alsion Riske (6-2, 6-4) in two sets. It should be noted not only the reliable play of Rybakina on her serve, but also the stability in the actions on the back line.
Elena Rybakina has won 4 of her last 5 matches at the WTA 1000 tournaments.
In 3of Keys’ 5 previous matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the second set. We offer to bet on “2nd Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 2.08.
