Keys has won both meetings against Mertens, both in straight sets. The matches took place in 2019 Australian Open and 2017 US Open.

This is going to be one of the better matches of the tournament so far and the odds indicate a coin flip. However, Keys will control the pace of most points in this match and she dominated Mertens in their previous two meetings. As long as Keys avoids unforced errors, she wins this match.
