Madison Keys vs Karolina Muchova Prediction

It’s a clash of styles. Keys is pure power. Muchova has the craft, guile, and touch that comes in handy on grass. However, it has to be noted that the Czech prefers more time before executing her shots, which is why she is at her best on clay. Add to the fact that she has played one complete match since September 2023, then the odds are stacked against her. Give me the defending champion Keys to win this.
