Madison Keys and Aryna Sabalenka go head to head on Friday for a place in the US Open Final at Flushing Meadows.

Madison Keys v Aryna Sabalenka Prediction

This could be a really exciting semi-final with Sabalenka, the world number two, coming up against home country hero, Madison Keys. There’s no doubt who the crowd will be firmly behind but Keys comes into this match as the underdog, as she looks to make her second US Open final.

Keys last appearance in a final, the 2017 edition of this competition, ended in defeat and she’ll be trying to break her Grand Slam duck and move into the WTA elite. Sabalenka has had an extraordinary year, winning the Australian Open before making the semi-final in both the French Open and Wimbledon.

This may be too close to call, with home court advantage evening the odds slightly, and backing it to go all the way to three sets seems the safest bet.

Aryna Sabalenka road to the US Open quarter-finals

Sabalenka has yet to drop a set in this tournament, only losing four game in a set once and looks to be in imperious form. She’ll be keen to make the final after losing in the semi-final of the US Open in the previous two years, and cap off what has been a very impressive calendar year for the 25-year-old.
