Amanda Anisimova vs Madison Keys Preview

Amanda Anisimova’s debut match at the 2025 WTA Finals ended in defeat. The big-hitting Anisimova lost to Elena Rybakina in their first career meeting in straight sets. Anisimova was riding on a six-match win streak, having won her second WTA 1000 in Beijing, beating two top 10 players.

But Anisimova relinquished her unbeaten run to the powerful Rybakina 3-6, 1-6 in 58 minutes. In the defeat, Anisimova tallied 2 aces and 3 double faults. Anisimova landed 72% of first serves but only won 56% of first serve points (19/34). Anisimova won 38% of second serve points (5/13) and she saved just one of five break points. Anisimova failed to break Rybakina’s serve in the whole match.

Madison Keys fared worse in the opening match against former champion Iga Swiatek. Making he first appearance since a shocking first-round loss at the US Open, Keys clearly lacked match sharpness as Swiatek suffocated the court with her quick tennis to record an emphatic 6-1, 6-2 victory in an hour.

Keys hit 1 ace and accounted for 7 double faults. The World No. 7 landed 71% of first serves in play and won 47% of first serve points (14/30). Keys won 17% of second serve points (2/12) and saved three of eight break points. Keys has one match win in this tournament and that came nine years ago at the WTA Finals.

Amanda Anisimova vs Madison Keys Prediction

Keys is probably the least prepared for the WTA Finals among the eight qualifying singles players. She’s been battling an undisclosed injury and missed every tournament after the US Open. Her serve which gives her a headstart in matches lacked its usual pop against Swiatek and hit too many double faults. Anisimova is more freer and fitter and she is the logical pick here.
