Zheng Qinwen’s five straight victories at this year’s US Open have made her a serious threat to Madison Keys, who is coming off a grueling match.
Zheng is reasonably priced at -130 to cover +2.5 games in the spread market at DraftKings.
Current Form:
Madison Keys escaped with a 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 win over Anna Bondar after being down a set and saving five match points against the Hungarian. Keys, the 2025 Australian Open champion, is 5-2 in tiebreaks in hard-court matches in 2026.
Zheng Qinwen displayed pre-injury form in her first two wins at the US Open. The Chinese qualifier and former top-10 player outlasted teenage wunderkind Kristina Liutova 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 and Yulia Putintseva 6-4, 2-6, 6-1 to stay in the hunt in this Grand Slam.
The Matchup: Keys and Zheng are 1-1 in their head-to-head series, with the Chinese coming on top in their last encounter in Miami, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4.

Our Madison Keys vs Qinwen Zheng Prediction
Key Stats: Zheng broke Keys four times in her 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 win over the American at the Miami Open earlier this year.
What to Expect: After surviving a tricky match with Bondar, Keys finds herself in a similar situation with Zheng, who possesses the power in her shots and big-game experience to put her in uncomfortable spots.
With 93 percent of bets placed on Keys to win, the American seems to be a comfortable moneyline pick for this match. However, Zheng is also an intriguing option at -130 to cover +2.5 games, as the Chinese appears to have regained the form that makes her dangerous even for the higher-ranked players.
Fearless Forecast: Madison Keys wins 7-6, 4-6, 6-4
Our betting prediction for Madison Keys vs. Zheng Qinwen: Zheng Qinwen +2.5 games
