    Bertens - Keys match over 21.5 games

    Play of the day imo.

    Bertens is in excellent form, winning 16 in a row (Nurnberg/RG single/double), confidence is through the roof. Against Giorgi she played at a very high level in the first set, making slim to nil mistakes. The match against Kasatkina was a tough one but she showed some mental toughness coming out as winner in 3 (10-8 last set). The after that long match she beat the Williams sisters in the doubles.

    I just watched an interview with her coach Sluiter and he was very well aware of the fact that Kiki's fatigue is a thing to keep in mind, but like he said: "There is no better way to prepare for a match after a long battle than beating the Williams sisters'. I agree.

    Although I don't think Bertens will come out on top against Keys (though @ 2.6/2.7 is some decent value), I believe she will be able to compete with Madison for some serious time and take a set from her. Keys is a hard hitter and in a good form herself as well, but atm everything is coming Bertens way, it might end today but atleast she will give up a fight and take this to the wire.

    What are your angles on this?

    GL!

    I heard her yesterday on the radio (Bertens), she's gassed out, was hoping for the double's match to be suspended. Wishing for heavy rain. She will have some difficulties with Key's hard hit balls to the baseline. I would put some on Key's in straights. And hope for a 4-6,5-7.

    Would like to see Keys win, but I don't trust her at all.

    Keys has mobility issues that restrict her ability to defeat the top players.

    I think she just needs find more rest in her game, every time she lost a big rally were she had the initiative she tended to force her strokes the points following up leading in many unforced errors.
