Our Sara Bejlek vs Madison Keys Prediction
The Difference Maker: Madison Keys has already played and won at this stage of a big tournament, and that’s the crucial edge the former Australian Open champion has over the upset-minded Bejlek in this intriguing quarterfinal showdown.
Still, there’s no doubt that Bejlek has established herself as a dangerous opponent for the remaining competitors in Cincinnati following her upset of Sabalenka.
In four matches in Cincinnati, Bejlek has converted 19 of 32 break chances for a staggering 59.4 percent breakpoint conversion rate. Although Keys is winning 77.7 percent of her first serves in this tournament, the American must understand that she cannot let Bejlek create multiple break chances because the Czech can really inflict massive damage as a returner.
What to Expect: Madison Keys comes away with a win but not before fending off a serious upset bid from Bejlek. Bejlek easily covers the spread in a three-set loss.
Fearless Forecast: Madison Keys wins 6-4, 2-6, 7-6
Our betting prediction for Sara Bejlek vs. Madison Keys: Sara Bejlek +3.5 games
