Keys Rallies Past Tomljanovic
World no. 15 Madison Keys bounced back after losing the first set to beat Ajla Tomljanovic on Wednesday and advance to the Round of 16.
The 13th seed lost the very first service game of the match but drew level with the Aussie in the sixth game, only to lose the next three games in a row to concede the first set.
Keys started the second set well, racing to a 4-0 lead, but she squandered three set points in the eighth game as Tomljanovic pulled a break back. The American, however, didn’t allow another slip up as she closed out the set and forced the decider.
The final set saw keys break early, Tomljanovic levelled the set at 3-3, but Keys then took charge and broke her opponent two more times in the next three games to win the contest 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.
The Adelaide-2 champion, Keys is chasing a seventh career title. She has produced some great results on the surface this year, which includes a run to the Australian Open semifinals and also a final four finish in Cincinnati.
The 27-year-old, who was a quarterfinalist in San Diego last week, had begun her Guadalajara campaign with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Magda Linette in the opening round.
She will be aiming to reach her sixth quarterfinal of the season on Thursday.

Azarenka Through as Top Seed Retires
Victoria Azarenka moved into the third round after top seed Paula Badosa retired from the second-round contest due to an illness.
Azarenka was off to a great start, going up a double break to lead 4-0, before Badosa finally held serve for the first time. But the Spaniard looked in discomfort and eventually pulled out of the contest after losing the first set 2-6.
The world no. 8’s withdrawal meant Azarenka marched into the tournament’s third round. She had begun her campaign with a 6-4, 6-2 win over 20-year-old Russian qualifier Elina Avanesyan.
The Belarusian, who recorded her 500th tour-level win earlier this year, has not had a very good run this year. She has done well in the initial rounds of most of the tournaments but has reached just two quarterfinals this season, one in Adelaide and the other in Washington. The 21-time tour-level champion will hope to reach a third on Thursday.
She hasn’t played in a final since Indian Wells last year and hasn’t won a title since Cincinnati two years ago. Can she keep her chances alive in Guadalajara?
Keys v Azarenka Prediction and Tip
Azarenka has won both their previous meetings, but on form it is Keys who holds the edge. Should be an exciting game, with Keys edging out the Belarusian.
