The final is set at the 2025 Adelaide WTA 500, and what a final it is: World #7 Jessica Pegula will take on World #20 Madison Keys in an exciting all-American clash. Will Keys be able to claim a second Adelaide title, or will her opponent claim a first trophy on Australian soil?<\/p>\n
Head-to-Head<\/em>: Pegula 1-1 Keys<\/p>\n Pegula, the tournament’s top seed, has rebounded impressively after a disappointing showing at the WTA Finals, reaching the final in Adelaide without dropping a set. While she benefited from Ashlyn Krueger\u2019s mid-match retirement, Pegula also delivered convincing performances against difficult opponents in Maria Sakkari and Yulia Putintseva, showcasing her form and confidence.<\/p>\n Madison Keys, on the other hand, was not seeded despite being a Top 20 player, a testament to the fantastic strength of the event. Regardless, she has played scintillating tennis throughout the week. She gave no chance to either Kasatkina or Haddad Maia, both of whom were not even able to break Keys’ serve once. She also came on top of a rollercoaster against Ostapenko, where she had to come back from a set down.\u00a0 And in the semifinals, she benefited from a mid-match retirement too, this one from Samsonova, to advance into the final.<\/p>\n
