Madison Keys vs Elina Svitolina Australian Open prediction, odds, selection

Madison Keys takes on Elina Svitolina in the 2025 event Australian Open. Our Australian Open series odds has our Keys-Svitolina prediction, odds and picks. Learn how to watch Keys-Svitolina.

Madison Keys is trying to cross that final barrier and break through in a big tournament. She knocked on the door many times, reaching one final and a number of semi-finals plus a number of quarter-finals. Here is her last major quarter-final, a very convincing match against Elina Svitolina, who – unlike Keys – has never reached a major final but has similarly been in this position on plenty of occasions and lacks the one crowning moment that would make her career completed.

Adding to the drama of the Keys-Svitolina match is the knowledge that another longtime pro, Paula Badosa, — at age 27 — reached the first major semifinal of her career with a loss to Coco Gauff in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. Seeing another player break through will only heighten the desire for Keys and Svitolina to take the next step and cross that final threshold. This is a great career opportunity for both women. The more times they reach the quarter-finals, the more they have to wonder how many more chances they will have to lift the big trophy. An endless string of comeback performances is not guaranteed. It’s hard enough to get this far in a major tournament. Keys is almost 30 and Svitolina is 30. Tennis players in their 30s must know that the biological clock is ticking and that every major quarterfinal could be the last. Although this is not a final, it contains the rich kind of drama that makes it so compelling to follow the careers of these world-class athletes in individual sports.

Why Madison Keys Will Win

Madison Keys has defeated Danielle Collins and Elena Rybakina in her last two matches. Collins is a former major finalist (at the 2022 Australian Open) and Rybakina is a major champion, having won Wimbledon. These are two quality tennis players. Keys found his way past each of them. It’s hard to bet against Keys in this matchup, given the caliber of opposition she’s faced and beaten over the past few days. She plays tennis with confidence, but more than that, Keys plays smart tennis, which wasn’t always something we could say about her. It looks like she’s ready to take that proverbial next step in her career.

Why Elina Svitolina will win

Keys is playing well, but so is Svitolina. The Ukrainian defeated 4th seed Jasmine Paolini in this tournament and looked very strong in her fourth round win. Svitolina is in a great mood and plays with a toughness that can throw Madison Keys out of rhythm.

Final Keys-Svitolina Prediction & Pick

It’s a very close match, most likely, so Svitolina won 3.5 games, that’s the way to go. You can also opt to go over the game in props, as this match is likely to go three sets instead of two.

Final Keys-Svitolina Prediction & Pick: Svitolina +3.5
