Shuai Zhang will hope to roll back the years as she goes into another duel with Madison Keys, this time at the Madrid Open. The two are clashing for the ninth time, with Zhang having the edge at 5-3. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Keys has suffered eight defeats in the opening two rounds in her previous 11 appearances in Madrid. That, though, last happened in 2022, and she returns a stronger player, having graced the quarter-finals in the last two seasons.
This year she’s unbeaten in the first two rounds and has the chance to improve her Madrid record from the current 11-12. She’s coming off a loss to Yuliia Starodbtseva in the Charleston semis, leaving her 18th in the live rankings.
Zhang is having a tougher season and comes here on a poor run in Madrid as well. This marks her eighth appearance at this event, returning after her absence in 2025.
She will hope to go past the second round for the first time in Madrid, where she’s also on a losing record at 2-7. Her second win in this event came in the first round as she saw off Eva Lys in straight sets.
Age is also catching up with the Chinese athlete, who has this year made it past the second round just once in 11 tournaments. The 37-year-old has compiled a 9-11 run this season, leaving her 72nd in the live rank.

Our Madison Keys vs Shuai Zhang Prediction
Our prediction for Madison Keys v Shuai Zhang is for the exact score: 2-0. Zhang has a poor record in Madrid, and her poor run so far this season will not be very helpful. In four of her latest six defeats, she failed to win a set.
She also lost in her last meeting with Madison Keys, and her years of dominance in this matchup are long gone. A younger Keys will test her, and the American, having posted straight sets in five of her six wins, will be a clear favorite here.
