LiontipsMadison Keys vs Elina Svitolina. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Adelaide
Command Analysis
Madison Keys is not looking successful on tour, she dropped to the 56th spot in the world rankings. Previously, the American player was a member of Top-10 and even reached the final of US Open once.
Keys also got off to a poor start in the new season. Last week, she started the Melbourne tournament with a narrow victory over Dart (6:3, 7:6). In the second round American player was eliminated by Kasatkina (6:7, 6:2, 3:6).
Elina Svitolina ended the 2021 season outside of Top 10, at 15th spot in the world rankings. The new season started poorly for the Ukrainian athlete.
Svitolina started the Adelaide tournament with a match against Anastasia Gasanova. Odds on Russian player's victory was at 6.90 in bookmaking companies. But eventually Gasanova recorded a victory in three sets (5:7, 6:4, 6:3). Svitolina needs to improve her performance at the baseline, otherwise the Australian part of the season will be a complete disaster for Svitolina.
