The matchups for the quarter-finals of Wimbledon Champions look impressive, and the games will be more intense than ever. Every point matters and even the slightest wrong move can prove to be costly. Unfortunately, Mirra Andreeva lost a point after she allegedly expressed her frustration in the fourth round of Wimbledon. The umpire was strict and deducted points from her. Ultimately, Madison Keys won the final set, and Andreeva was out of the tournament. It is now Aryna Sabalenka who has to face Keys in the quarter-finals.

After her win against Ekaterina Alexandrova, the Belarusian was asked about her quarter-final match and what she should look out for in the American.

Aryna Sabalenka reveals what she thinks of her next opponent

In the post-match conference after her fourth-round win, a reporter asked Sabalenka what makes Keys a challenging opponent. She appreciated Key’s forehand game and agressiveness. Sabalenka said, “Um, she’s a very aggressive player. Her forehand is, uh, can be really annoying (laughs). She is hitting some really big shots from there.”

Talking about her serve, the Australian Open winner said, “So serving really well, playing pretty fast games. So, she is really a tough opponent to play against, and uh, I mean, it’s going to be a great battle, and I am really looking forward for this match.”

Interestingly, their head-to-head stats remains tied at one each, which makes the prediction quite tough.

Perhaps the only thing that is overtly different between them is that Keys has got the experience that Sabalenka is still gathering.

The match between the two is going to be pretty competitive as the two players only lost one set each in their previous rounds. They defeated? three opponents in straight sets and finished the matches quickly. While Keys lost a set against Andreeva, Sabalenka lost a set against Varvara Gracheva.

The Belarusian and the American met only twice before on the court, and they both took a game against each other. However, this is the first time they are competing against each oher on a grass surface. Keys reached the quart-final of Wimbledon only once in her career, way back in 2015. Meanwhile, he furthest Sabalenka progressed in Wimbledon was the semifinals in 2021.

Sabalenkla couldn’t play at Wimbledon last year because players from her country were banned from it. So this is enough reason for the Belarusian to be hungry for the trophy. Who do you think will proceed to the semi-finals this year?
