Sport.ua together with a betting partner betting announces the upcoming match!

Oleksandr Oliinikov

The upcoming match is extremely important in the career of the Ukrainian, she will make her debut in the main draw of Grand Slam tournaments. A strong last season, in which the Ukrainian won three WTA 125 and four ITF tournaments, led to this success. It is worth noting that all successes were on the ground.

Oliynikova starts against the current winner of the tournament, and in general, a powerful opponent. The Ukrainian did not play in other tournaments before her debut at the Australian Open, so it is difficult to determine her current form.

Madison Keys

The American sportswoman needs no introduction, she is in the top 10 and is also the reigning winner of the Australian Open. Last season, Keys was able to win the first major in her career, and before that she took the title in Adelaide. Then there were still good performances, but it was not possible to achieve such success.

Madison started this season with a tournament in Brisbane, where she defeated her countrywoman Kessler – 6:4, 6:3, and then “neutral” Schneider – 6:7, 7:6, 7:6. In the quarterfinals, the American lost to the world number one, Aryna Sobolenko – 3:6, 3:6. There was also a tournament in Adelaide, where she failed to defend the title, Keys beat the Czech Valentova – 6:4, 6:1, and then lost to the future finalist Victoria Mboko – 4:6, 6:4, 2:6.

Forecast

Of course, tennis players have not crossed paths before, and in the upcoming match, Keys is quoted as a big favorite. Judging by the bookmakers’ coefficients, it all boils down to the question of which score the Ukrainian will give up.

Oleynikova will have to play against a real monster of modern tennis, here it is important not to burn out psychologically. Although everyone is waiting for a crushing victory of the American tennis player, I will bet on the success of Oleksandra with a handicap of +7.5 games for 1.75, it will be difficult to fight for victory, but it is realistic to impose a fight.
