Can Agnieszka Radwanska move through to the semi-finals with a win over Madison Keys? Join The Roar for live scores from around midnight (AEST) following the completion of Garbine Muguruza and Timea Bacsinszky.
Keys must target Radwanska’s weak serve to overpower her opponent tonight. If the American can push the game to three sets she may have a significant advantage due to Radwanska’s lack of fighting power if she allows her head to drop.
Keys must also make strong strokes to try and crack Radwanska’s line and win cheap points.
Radwanska is one of the most experienced players remaining in the Ladies draw and she needs to use that to her advantage in her match against Keys.
The Serbian must hold her defensive line, as she still lacks offensive skills and serving power.
This game will be as much mental as it will be physical.
Keys and Radwanska have played each other three times, Radwanska winning on all occasions. Their most recent matchup came at Beijing in 2013 where Radwanska emerged in straight sets 6-3, 6-2.
