Command Analysis

Ashleigh Barty

Ashleigh Barty experienced no problems on her way to the semi-final of Australian Open. A World No. 1 player beat all of her opponents in straight sets. She also claimed a title at Adelaide, so now she has a nine-game winning streak.
In two most recent matches of Australian Open Barty faced American players, Amanda Anisimova and Jessica Pegula. Anisimova managed to put up a good fight to Barty, but eventually suffered a 4:6, 3:6 defeat. A quarter-final match against Pegula was like a walk in the park for Barty (6:2, 6:0). Australian player always tries to dominate on the court. A powerful first serve is a great weapon for her. But Anisimova managed to win one game at Barty's serve.

Madison Keys

Madison Keys got off to a great start of the season, winning the title at Adelaide. A former World No. 7 player is currently on a ten-game winning streak.
American player experienced some problems in the third round of Australian Open. Only in the third set she managed to snatch a victory over the Chinese player (4:6, 6:3, 7:6). It is surely a crucial victory for Keys. In two next matches she easily beat Top-10 players, Paula Badosa (6:3, 6:1) and Barbora Krejcikova (6:3, 6:2). In each of these matches Keys lost only one game at her serve.
