20th seed Madison Keys is through to the quarter-finals at the WTA Cincinnati, where she will be up against Sara Bejlek. These two will be facing off for the first time with Bejlek weighing up another shocker. While Bejlek brings her great momentum, Keys has the experience, and our prediction tips this to need a decider.
Bejlek is coming off a massive win, beating world No. 1 and top seed here, Aryna Sabalenka. She did it in straight sets and her only concern now will be having played one hour and 30 minutes more than Keys.
The Czech has been fearless all week and has only dropped one set in Cincinnati. This marks her fourth quarter-final and the only time she progressed before, she went on to win it all in Abu Dhabi. Bejlek is placed 30th in the live ranking.
Keys is a former champion here, having hoisted the 2019 title, but she hasn’t made it to the semis since 2022. This will mark her third quarter-final appearance here, and like Bejlek, she is gunning for a second title of the year, having clinched the Eastbourne gong earlier.
It isn’t a very productive season for the American, but this is her sixth quarter-final on tour, and she has lost three. To get here she powered past Xiyu Wang in straight sets to compile a 33-13 record for the season. The 31-year-old sits 21st in the live ranking.

Our Sara Bejlek vs Madison Keys Prediction
These two players go head-to-head for the first time, and in reality this can go either way, looking at their different profiles. Inexperienced Bejlek has beaten three top 30 players already this season and will be inspired by her latest win.
On the other hand, this is her first quarter-final at the WTA 1000 level, yet she is 1-3 in tour quarters. Meanwhile, Keys is a former winner here and way more experienced, also having a great week. We expect this to need a decider, and our prediction for Sara Bejlek v Madison Keys is for the exact score: 1-2.
