Madison Keys vs Belinda Bencic: Preview
Madison Keys is off to a fast start in the Charleston Open 2022, defeating Ulrikke Eikeri of Norway 6-3, 6-1. The American is currently 15-6 on the season and appears to be in good shape to enhance those stats even further. Keys has an excellent record in the competition as a two-time finalist (champion in 2019) and normally plays well on clay courts. Taking on an opponent like Bencic will be difficult for the 27-year-old, but she is well then up to the task given her prize collection and general experience.
Seed number ten In her first round, Belinda Bencic defeated rising Czech starlet Linda Fruhvirtová 6-1, 7-6(8). She, like Keys, received a bye into round two. The Swiss has been the weakest on the clay of the three surfaces, so it will be fascinating to watch how she handles the clay swing. Bencic, on the other hand, has advanced to the semifinals and quarterfinals in Charleston on two separate occasions.
In 2022, she has lost against Naomi Osaka, Paula Badosa, Amanda Anisimova, Anett Kontaveit, and Clara Tauson, among others. All of these players are budding stars with exceptional potential, and Keys is on par with them.
Madison Keys vs Belinda Bencic: Head-to-Head
Madison Keys holds a 2-1 lead against Belinda Bencic, having defeated her twice, the most recent victory being in Doha last year. She also triumphed in their 2015 match at the French Open. We will have to wait and see if Bencic gets back her revenge or if Keys will continue on with her winning streak.
Madison Keys vs Belinda Bencic: Prediction
The American Madison Keys includes a championship run in Adelaide 2, a semifinal appearance in the Australian Open, and a quarterfinal appearance in Indian Wells were among her season highlights. Keys is presently ranked No. 24 in the world, and while she is in fantastic form, her most recent match came at the Miami Open, where she lost in the first round to Anhelina Kalinina.
Not to be beaten, when you consider Belinda Bencic‘s previous semifinal victory in Miami, it’s easy to see why the 25-year-old has a decent chance of winning this one. Bencic is a talented player, and while she has struggled with consistency this season (10-6), she has enough momentum to make up for it here.
As previously stated, this will be a battle of equals. Both players are experienced and have played in a number of important games; it’s possible that this will stretch to three sets before a winner emerges.
Prediction: Madison Keys to win in three sets.
