Command Analysis
Madison Keys
USACurrent form
Keys knocked Elena Rybakina out of the title race in the fourth round of the Australian Open (6-3, 1-6, 6-3). Madison served four aces, converted five break points and lost four games on her serve during the match against the representative of Kazakhstan. Earlier in the tournament, the American beat Daniela Collins, Elena Ruse and Ann Lee.
Professional qualities
Keys is a tennis player whose game is built around a powerful serve. This skill allows her to play aggressive rallies while minimizing their duration. Short and effective rallies are the basis of her strategy. However, when her serve is not working, the American becomes vulnerable, prone to a significant number of unforced errors, which can lead to a loss of control of the match.
Current indicators in the tour
Keys is ranked 14th in the world, although she was once ranked seventh. This season, the American has already won one trophy - she won in Adelaide. For her, it was the 14th title in her career and the ninth in the WTA category.
Interesting facts for betting
Keys has won nine of her last ten matches.
Elina Svitolina
UkraineCurrent form
Svitolina beat Veronika Kudermetova (6-4, 6-1) in the fourth round of the Australian Open. Elina served five aces, converted five break points and lost two games on her serve. Earlier in the tournament, she beat Jasmine Paolini, Caroline Dolehide and Sorana Cirstea.
Professional qualities
Svitolina is a tennis player who prefers a methodical game from the baseline. Gradually increasing the tempo, she confidently switches from defense to attack. One of her main trump cards is her backhand, which often proves decisive, hitting the line exactly. However, an unstable second serve leads to double faults, which remains one of Elina weak points.
Current indicators in the tour
Svitolina is a former world No. 3. She is currently ranked No. 27 in the world. Elina has won 25 trophies in her career, 17 of which are WTA titles. She won her last title in 2023 on the clay courts of Strasbourg.
Interesting facts for betting
Svitolina has lost by a large margin in only three of her last 10 matches against top-40 opponents.
