Madison Keys v Anna Blinkova Head to Head

Keys leads 1-0, last beating her Russian adversary in the 2019 French Open in three sets.

Keys Coming off a Great Start

World No. 10 Madison Keys could not have asked for a better start to the 2023 season.

The American represented her country in the United Cup and played superbly to guide her country into the finals and eventually win the tournament. Impressively, Keys dropped just one set in the five matches – dropping the first one against Katie Swan of Great Britain in the quarterfinal.

She won the rest of her fixtures with ease, dispatching Jule Niemeier, Marie Bouzkova, Magda Linette, and finally Lucia Bronzetti.

Madison was the semifinalist in last year’s Aus Open, beating top 10 players like Sofia Kenin, Paula Badosa, and Barbora Krejcikova en route. Over the course of the season, she moved on to reach the late rounds in Indian Wells and Cincinnati and won the title in Adelaide 2. She eventually ended the year at 30-20 – her best showing in over five years.

Following this superb start in January, the 27-year-old looks primed to at least make it to week two in Melbourne this edition.

Blinkova Coming off a Superb Semifinal

Anna Blinkova last featured in the Hobart International where she reached the semifinal – all the way from the qualifying rounds.

The young Russian dismissed Varvara Gracheva, Panna Udvardy, Lucia Bronzetti, Marie Bouzkova, and Yulia Putintseva – all in straight sets. She ultimately lost to Lauren Davis 3-6, 3-6. Before this, Anna had lost in round two of the ASB Classic.

Blinkova is looking to build on her stellar 2022 season; she closed at an impressive 44-29 with a title from the Transylvania Open and the runner-up feat from the Saint-Malo Challenger. These wins allowed her to re-enter the top 100 and finish in the #73rd position.

With a lot of matches under her belt, the unseeded player looks well-positioned to make things difficult for the bigger names.

Keys v Blinkova Prediction and Tip

Keys is the favourite on paper (1/4) but don’t be quick to dismiss Blinkova’s chances. At 3/1, the Russian makes for a good bet – especially since the American has seen her fair share of losses to the underdogs. Expect a cracking affair.
