📊 Madison Keys won both previous meetings. But those results don't carry much weight here - both players are in different form now, and a lot has changed in their games since.
Head-to-head statistics Kostyuk - Keys
Marta Kostyuk Player Overview
Kostyuk is in good form - 8 wins from her last 10 matches, including a first-round win over Katherine Sebov in Toronto. She holds serve at 64% and converts break points at 50%.

Match Results: Marta Kostyuk
Madison Keys Player Overview
Madison Keys has a decent record too - same number of wins in her last 10 matches, but two losses in three recent outings, including the defeat to Liudmila Samsonova in Washington. She holds serve well (71% of games) and tends to raise her level as tournaments progress. Her ace numbers are slightly higher than Kostyuk's, with a comparable double-fault rate. The service game and set win percentages look strong on paper, but the recent inconsistency could matter against a top-level opponent.
Match Results: Madison Keys
Key factors
- Kostyuk has won 8 of her last 10 matches.
- The -2.5 games handicap has landed in 6 of her last 7 matches.
- She's been winning sets and games at a high rate over her recent matches.
- Kostyuk has been solid on both serve and return.
Expected scenario
The match should be tight - both players are in form. But Kostyuk's winning streak and the edge she holds across key metrics make her the favourite on games handicap. A third set is possible, though not the most likely outcome. Even in a close one, her advantage should be enough to cover the handicap.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Both players are in decent form, but recent numbers point to Marta Kostyuk as the more consistent of the two - solid on serve, active on return. The edge is backed by a high set-win rate and a run of strong results against players at a similar level. The game margin is where this should be decided. The pick - Marta Kostyuk to win with a -2.5 games handicap.
