🔍 Match Breakdown

Boulter has shown steady improvements on clay over the past two seasons and should not be underestimated. However, Keys looks like a woman on a mission in 2025. Her clean win in R1, combined with a strong clay pedigree and superior firepower, puts her firmly in control here.

Expect some resistance from the Brit in the early stages, but Keys’ aggressive baseline game and superior movement should prove too much as the match wears on.

🔮 Prediction & Bet Tip

Prediction: Madison Keys in straight sets.
Suggested Bet: Keys -5.5 Games – With her dominant Slam form and Boulter's relative clay inexperience, this could be a one-sided scoreboard even if games are tight.
