I have watched her carefully this entire season - from being a couple points away of beating Kerber in Brisbane to taking Venus the distance in Charleston on clay. She is the real deal on clay. Keys, on the other hand, is an unforced error machine and once her forehand starts misfiring, the rest of her game does too. This match should be a shit show extraordinaire with more breaks of serve likely to outnumber holds, but at the end of the day, I give a moderate edge to Puig.
