Madison Keys vs. Aryna Sabalenka
Sabalenka and Keys will face off for the fifth time in their careers.
Sabalenka has steadily controlled the head-to-head battle, winning four of those encounters.
Given her dominance at hard-court Grand Slams over the last two years, Sabalenka will enter as the heavy favorite.
However, it would not be wise to rule out Keys; indeed, just like Sabalenka, the former 2017 U.S. Open finalist has played a flawless tournament, earning back-to-back wins over top 10 players.
Keys has the tools necessary to win this matchup and capture her first Grand Slam title, as reinforced by her recent matches.
That being said, achieving the upset will still require a flawless performance from the 29-year-old, especially on serve, where Sabalenka has so often dismantled her opponents.
In the end, Sabalenka should be able to do just enough to secure victory and extend her dominion in Australia.
