Command Analysis
Madison Keys
USACurrent form
Keys has been demonstrating impressive play and results since the start of the season. Let us recall that the American played in the quarterfinals in Auckland and won the title in Adelaide. It is not surprising that with such form she managed to get to the semifinals in Melbourne. Madison tournament path was not easy, in three of five matches she played three sets. True, the opponents in the last rounds were also difficult - Collins, Rybakina, Svitolina. She managed to achieve victories largely due to her aggressive power tennis.
Professional qualities
Madison has played in a super-aggressive manner throughout her career, regularly trying to finish rallies quickly, as she feels uncomfortable in drawn-out rallies. In general, playing on the baseline and defense are not her strong points. Keys has a powerful first serve and a clear forehand, which allows her to dictate her terms on the court.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the year, Keys has won 12 of 13 matches, and is currently ranked 14th in the world. Let us recall that her best achievement is seventh place.
Interesting facts for betting
- Keys played three sets in three of her five matches in Melbourne

Iga Swiatek
PolandCurrent form
From the start of the season, Šwiętek clearly intends to regain the title of world number one. At the moment, Iga is confidently moving along the tournament grid in Melbourne, having already significantly improved her result from last year, when she sensationally flew out in the third round. She has not had any problems on local courts this year. The most she has allowed her opponents is seven games given up in the first round match against Siniakova. In the quarterfinals, Iga crushed Emma Navarro with a score of 6-1, 6-2.
Professional qualities
Iga is distinguished by her versatility. She can work reliably on the back line, attack powerfully, using the solid potential of her forehand. It should be noted that Swiatek likes to dictate her game, to act as the first number on the court.
Current indicators in the tour
Due to doping investigations, Šwiętek missed the Asian hard series at the end of last year and lost her title of world No. 1. Today, she is ranked second in the world. Since the beginning of the year, taking into account the United Cup and Australian Open, Iga has won 12 out of 13 matches. Her only defeat was inflicted on her by Cori Gauff.

2.21Tip and bets
Keys has been showing impressive play since the start of the season, but she has a tough schedule, with tough battles with Collins, Rybakina and Svitolina behind her. It will clearly be difficult for the American to withstand the confrontation with Swiatek, who has gained solid form. Iga confidently beat Madison twice last year, giving her four games. We think that the accumulated fatigue will make itself felt and Keys will not be able to oppose the former world number one.
Our prediction is a victory for Swiatek with a handicap of (-5) games with a coefficient of 1.70
