Sixth seed Madison Keys and ninth seed Elena Rybakina will rekindle their long-standing rivalry when they meet in Cincinnati next. The two will battle for the sixth time in their careers in the fourth round. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Elena Rybakina has struggled this year against fellow WTA top-10 players, managing just one win in eight such matches. One of those losses came against Keys in Melbourne, meaning that this particular match will hold more significance.
The Kazakh has looked shaky in Cincinnati, with both of her wins seeing her win by a decider after losing the first set. Rybakina defeated Elise Mertens in the last round to improve to 39-15 for the season. The world number 10 has won twice previously against Keys.
Madison Keys won in three sets against Rybakina on her way to lifting the Australian Open back in January. The win took her to three wins in this series, and she will be hoping for another win and produce a similar trajectory.
A former Cincinnati champion, Keys defeated the qualifier Aoi Ito 2-0 in the last round. The world number six has now won 37 matches this season and has compiled one of the best records on hard courts. Keys has won 24 of 28 matches on hard courts.
