Match previews and predictions
Madison Keys vs Elena-Gabriela Ruse
Head-to-head stands at Keys 2-0. Keys enjoyed a career-best season in 2025.
This year she has battled injuries and inconsistency, which cost her a top-10 place. Ruse plans to rally from the baseline and force errors.
Playing in front of a home crowd should help Keys produce more power and cleaner tennis. Prediction: Keys in 2.
Iva Jovic vs Paula Badosa
This meeting is the first between Jovic and Badosa. Jovic struggled at Indian Wells and wants a quick recovery.
Badosa remains a tricky opponent but has been limited by injuries at this career stage. Prediction: Jovic in 3.
Leylah Fernandez vs Oksana Selekhmeteva
Fernandez and Selekhmeteva meet for the first time. Both are left-handed, which adds an intriguing tactical layer.
Selekhmeteva can hit big when fully on song. On a fast hard court, Fernandez’s all-around game looks better suited. Prediction: Fernandez in 2.
