Our Tereza Valentova vs Madison Keys Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Madison Keys takes Tereza Valentova to a tennis clinic 6-4, 6-3
Reasoning: Despite Valentova’s incredible upside, I believe she hasn’t reached the level where he can take down a player of Madison Keys’ caliber. Valentova deserves credit for beating a former Grand Slam winner in Ostapenko, but Keys on the hard court is no Ostapenko. Moreover, Keys is the reigning Adelaide International champion. She loves playing on this court, which acted as her launching pad to win the Australian Open title last year. Valentova will put up a strong fight, expectedly in the early going. However, Keys’ big game experience will eventually take over in the home stretch of the first and second sets.
Our betting prediction for Madison Keys vs. Tereza Valentova: Madison Keys 2-0 Sets
