Ash Barty vs Madison Keys: Match Preview
Ash Barty looks in imperious form so far at the Australian Open 2022. The World No.1 and tournament favourite thrashed American Jessica Pegula 6-2,6-0 in her previous match to book her place in the semis. The Aussie looks unbeatable at this point and has barely shown any chunks in her armor.
The 25-year-old is coming off after a solid 2021 campaign where she won 5 titles, including the Wimbledon, which was her second Grand Slam title after the 2019 French Open. She has already won her first title of the new season after cruising through on her way to clinch the WTA Adelaide International to open her season.
Meanwhile, Madison Keys has had an unbelievable campaign in the tournament so far, being a bit of a giant killer after defeating multiple players ranked higher than her on the path to reach the semi-finals. In her last match, she caused an upset by defeating one of the challenges for the title in World No.4 Barbora Krejcikova convincingly in straight sets.
Apart from that, she also thrashed World No.8 Paula Badosa and 11th seed Sofia Kenin in her incredible run at the tournament so far. The run at the Grand Slam has come on the back of the good form in general after the Americans started the season with a title victory at the WTA 500 Adelaide International 2 event.

Ash Barty vs Madison Keys: Match Predictions
Ashleigh Barty is looking in ominous form at the moment. The Aussie had just brushed aside every opponent she has faced so far, getting to the last 8 stage without dropping a set. On her day, the Aussie looks absolutely unbeatable as she targets to win her first Grand Slam on home soil. The World No.1 would also be cheered on by her home crowd.
Meanwhile, Madison Keys has been on a dream run from the start of the new year, beating two top 10 opponents on her way to this stage. The American would certainly not be underestimated and would fancy a chance to stretch Barty to her absolute limits.
Match Prediction- Barty to win in three sets.
