Keys Crushes Wickmayer
Having not had the best of starts to the North American hardcourt swing, Keys looks to have put all of that behind her.
Her draw so far has been obviously kind to her, what with matches against Arantxa Rus and Yanina Wickmayer so far but Keys has taken full toll of that to make it to the third round with consummate ease.
Keys had dropped just six games in her demolition of Rus but things became a lot easier in the second round where she crushed Wickmayer 6-1, 6-2 to enter round three. It took her a mere 56 minutes to get there.
In a match in which Keys faced just one break-point – and saved it easily – she also broke her opponent four times from four opportunities. She lost a mere 11 points on her serve overall in the encounter.
Can she now clinch her place in the fourth round here for the first time since 2019? Keys starts out a narrow 4/5 (with bet365) favourite here.

Samsonova Eases Past Korpatsch
A semifinalist at the Washington Open and a finalist at the Canadian Open, Samsonova had no problems getting past Tamara Korpatsch to make it to the third round at the US Open for the second time in a row.
Samsonova, who was stretched a little but still came through in straight sets against Claire Liu in the first round, registered a 6-3, 6-3 win over Korpatsch.
In a match that lasted just an hour and 18 minutes, Samsonova broke Korpatsch twice in each of the sets. She was more or less untroubled, having faced only one break of serve which came in the second set but she broke right back and then again to clinch the victory.
She now has a tough battle on her hands but having beaten the likes of Elena Rybakina, Aryna Sabalenka and Belinda Bencic recently she will think she has a better chance than the odds of 1/1 (bet365) reckon.
Keys v Samsonova Prediction and Tip
While it’s a tough one on paper, Samsonova recent form makes her our pick to win this and move to the fourth round.
Tips:
- Moderate Risk Tip: Samsonova to win: 1/1 (with bet365)
