      Only in this tournament. Anything in this year indicates that conclusion. Hard surface: Toronto first round, Washington first round, Miami first round, Indian Wells first round, her best result: AO quarters. i don´t see her so far in US Open, maybe second round.

    This is the Keys that won this years South Carolina clay tournament earlier this year against Caroline Wozniacki. Keys desperately needs this win to get her confidence back. She was knocked out early in the Roger Cup after letting her opponent come back and beat her in a third set to take the match. Keys should have won that match in Canada but when the camera beat up on her after it was over you could tell as she walked off the court she was devastated. Maybe it was the best thing for her because she is playing tough right now. I hope she wins it all. It will definitely be a mental booster for her. Her early exit from Wimbledon too was a crushing blow but I think Keys is back. Wishing her the best.

    Sofia - you have had back to back 2 semis and a great season so far. You're top 20 player based on your current play, beating Svitolina twice in 1 month. To move up, you need a more powerful serve, in the range of 105-110mi.

  • @JordanjamesX
    @JordanjamesX 5 ปีที่แล้ว +38

    Madison is too powerful than Kenin her serve is bigger her shots more stronger. Keys issue is consistency. Keys is moving well.

    • @KnowTrentTimoy
      @KnowTrentTimoy 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It's difficult to control that power she possesses. She should be able to overwhelm Sveta but we have to wait and see. BTW, "The shot of the day" was not even shown again or slow-mo'd.

    • @vincentcausey8498
      @vincentcausey8498 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was Madison's defensive ability that won the match (based on what I saw in this short video). She not only retrieved shots that looked like winners, but even at full stretch generated an angle that was impossible to return. Probably better than Halep in that respect.
