Keys Aims To Rebuild Momentum
Madison Keys made a decent start to the season, reaching the quarterfinals in Adelaide and Brisbane and the fourth round of the Australian Open. However, a drop in ranking points has pushed her close to falling out of the top 20.
She skipped the Middle East swing due to an Achilles tendon injury sustained during the Australian swing. Since returning, she has played two events, both ending in early exits.
The 31-year-old has been a consistent performer in Charleston Open since 2013. A former champion, she holds an 8-4 record in opening-round matches here.
Vekic Finds Spark In Comeback
Donna Vekic moved into the second round with a 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 comeback win over Ajla Tomljanovic. She saved all five break points in the decider, which proved crucial.
This time last year, she was ranked inside the top 20, but her level has dropped significantly since then. A failure to defend points in the second half of the season saw her fall outside the top 100.
Her struggles have continued this year, as she is yet to win multiple main-draw matches on tour. Her only bright spot came at a WTA 125 event in Manila, where she reached the final.
Verdict
Donna Vekic has come through qualifying with three wins this week, which should boost her confidence and rhythm. Madison Keys, however, has been dealing with fitness issues and hasn’t looked at her usual level. Still, Keys holds the edge overall, though Vekic is likely to put up a fight.
