Madison Keys vs Aryna Sabalenka Prediction: We're betting on a convincing victory for Aryna

Madison Keys, world No. 18, will face world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka in the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon tournament. The two tennis players have met twice on the Tour, so far the score is 1-1, while the only head-to-head meeting on grass ended in favour of the American. Despite the statistics, Aryna is the clear favourite in the pairing.

Madison is on a nine-match winning streak and before the start of Wimbledon she won the tournament in Eastbourne, beating Daria Kasatkina in the final in two games. In London, the world number 18 has four wins in four games, Madison has knocked out Britain's Kartal, Switzerland's Golubic, Ukraine's Kostyuk and Russia's Andreeva. The match against Andreeva turned out to be a 3-set match, Keys lost the first set and won the second set only on a tie-break. Madison won the third game 6-2. During the game, Keys served three times with two double faults, won 68% of points on her first serve and 47% on her second.

In the last 16 of Wimbledon, Aryna took out an uncomfortable Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova, beating her in two games 6:4, 6:0. During the game Aryna made 7 aces with zero double faults, won 77% of points on the first serve and 60% on the second. Before beating Alnexandrova, Aryna had knocked out Hungarian Udvardy, French Gracheva and Russian Blinkova. Before Wimbledon, Sabalenka played two matches at the tournament in Berlin.

To be honest, we are impressed by Sabalenka's easy victory over Alexandrova. Ekaterina performs well on grass and has experience of beating Aryna, but the Russian did not take a single game in the second set. Keys, on the other hand, struggled to reach the quarter-finals, losing the first set to Andreeva and winning the second set only on a tie-break. Sabalenka impressed more, and we are betting on her in this game. Moreover, we believe that Aryna will achieve a convincing 2-0 victory on Wednesday.

• Handicap 2 (-1.5) for 1.55;
• Total Under (22.5) for 1.83;
• Aryna Sabalenka to win 2-0 for 2.17.
