Predictions of the match Ashleigh Barty – Madison Keys in the semifinals of Australian Open 2022.
No one expected to see Madison Keys in the semi-finals, but Barty is very easy to go through the tournament bracket. Only Anisimova competed with her if it can be called a struggle. Just Keys plays in a similar style, and she even has a better serve. She had problems with psychology and stability, but now she has gained confidence, the issues have been resolved.
Ashleigh Barty’s speed will not be easy because Keys will constantly pressure her. Barty will be tricky and use a rhythm change, but I think Keys is quite capable of starting a fight. Presumably, she will win more than 9.5 games due to her excellent power serve. She has nothing to lose, and she can play freely. Perhaps something will work.
