2022 Australian Open SF: Ashleigh Barty vs. Madison Keys

[AnonymousFan]

Who wins?

Barty leads the H2H 2-1

Unfortunately I think this will be the end of Madison’s run. Barty has barely lost games, but I’ll give Madison one set.

Barty in 3.

Oof, I hate calling this one. I have Barty to win in my draw challenge. Ash has been cruising...does that work against her? My theory is that Aussie sentiment is running high, and isn't it Australia day tomorrow/today? All signs lean Barty. So, just to be perverse, and work against my own interests, I'm going Keys in 3. Why not?

I hope you‘re right!

I was only joking lol!

Quite frankly I dont think this will be an easy match for Ash,I want her to be pushed,if she is going to win the match and make the final

No worries, she'll be pushed

I don't think it will be easy, and I hope it's a great one. I would like to see Keys get a Major, but I supposed I'd still more like to see Ash get the AO, and I think this would be a great year to do it. Pressure on Ash, but her game is tough on Madison for playing her best.
