🇺🇸 Madison Keys: form and statistics

Madison Keys stunts her forbidding rays on Court Philippe Chatrier, her thunderous groundstrokes seeking to dismiss any challenger willing to contest her clay conquest! Ranking at No. 8 in the WTA, Keys boasts a 6-4 clay form that includes a commanding win against Daria Saville, 6-2, 6-1 on May 26—1 ace, 83% of first-serve points won, 5 break points converted versus 3 double faults (sportingnews.com). 

On clay this year, she's 6-3 (9-4 overall) serving 67.1% first serves, winning 66% of first-serve points, winning 75% of tiebreaks and somewhat lacking in break point conversion: 41% (tennistonic.com). 

With the 2025 Australian Open trophy under her belt after stunning Aryna Sabalenka in the final, Keys hits career-high confidence, yet her clay form has proven somewhat up-and-down with early exits in Madrid and Rome(www.sportskeeda.com). Posts on X talk about her "unstoppable vibe" (@josejuangelmx), while her coach says her rivals should be wary of her peak potential (www.thetennisgazette.com). At 30, is Keys ready to wield her power in full force?

🇬🇧 Katie Boulter: form and statistics

Katie Boulter flies down the Parisian clay as if she were a bulldog, her fighting spirit ready to rip open threats of fate against the giant American, all in contention glory of Roland Garros! In the world rankings, WTA no. 38, Boulter is 7-3 in line, including a comeback of grit against Carole Monnet on May 26, 7-6, 6-1, 6-1-three aces, key break points converted despite four double faults, 64% conversion of first-serve points, www.bbc.com. 

Clay wise, 7-2 on the year, clay-wise (9-3 overall) with a 63.6 percent first-serve rate, 64.8 percent first-serve points won, and a 54 percent break-point-conversion rate; yet, with a 0 percent record in tiebreak wins, the only indication of an exit in some crunch-time moments (tennistonic.com). 

Her first clay crown at the WTA 125 Trophee Clarins in Paris earned her the "Clay-tie" name (metro.co.uk), and this R1 win is the second for her main draw appearance (www.sportskeeda.com). X posts praise the fight put up by Boulter against the hostile crowd (@vmainard). At 28, can Boulter beat Keys?

Madison Keys vs Katie Boulter Match Prediction

Court Philippe Chatrier is bursting with tension as Madison Keys (1.167) takes on Katie Boulter (5.17) in this French Open 2025 R64 thriller. Keys boasts a 6-4 recent drive into the match and achieved an impressive 6-2, 6-1 win over Saville, winning 83% of first-serve points, and converting five of her chances for breaks of serve. Boulter has a 7-3 run into this clash after sealing a Monnet-best 7-6, 6-1, 6-1 victory, aided by 64% of first-serve points won. Given Keys leans 6-3 on clay with 66% first-serve points won and with the Australian Open title in her keeping, Boulter can only stand resilient at 7-2 for clay matches and 54% for break-point conversions. First meeting between the two will add flavour, but power should be Keys’ domain.
