WTA - WTA London - Queen's
Prediction :
Over 19.5 games to be played
Tatjana Maria is in another major grass court semi-final. The qualifier must beat second-seeded Madison Keys to reach the final of this WTA 500 tournament at Queen's Club in London. Here's our match prediction.
Maria remains a tough player to beat on grass despite now being aged 37. The 2022 Wimbledon semi-finalist is one win away from her first WTA Tour grass court final since 2018, her only title decider at this level.
This week has seen her win five matches with only Karolina Muchova taking a set off her. The quarter-finals saw her beat Elena Rybakina in straight sets. Maria is 66th in the live rankings.
That's 60 places below her American opponent. Keys has won all three of her previous matches against Maria with one played on this surface. That was in the 2015 Wimbledon Championships,
Madison Keys is just one win away from her fourth grass court final. Three titles have been won in the past by Keys on this surface, all in England.
Two matches have been played by the American this week. A straight sets victory over Anastasia Zakharova was followed by a much tougher match on Friday. Keys had to come from a set down to defeat Diana Shnaider.
We tip over 19.5 games to be played.

Our Tatjana María vs Madison Keys Prediction
Madison Keys is the short-priced favorite to take on either Qinwen Zheng or Amanda Anisimova in Sunday's final. This is not going to be an easy semi-final for the second-seed. Keys had to go to three sets to win her quarter-final and this could well be another tough match.
Tatjana Maria has won 73 of her 110 grass court matches. This week has seen her beat three Grand Slam finalists, including 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina. Our Tatjana Maria v Madison Keys prediction is over 19.5 games to be played.
