French Open Predictions Day 10 Women’s Matches<\/h1>\n

Madison Keys vs Yulia Putinseva<\/h3>\n

Brandon:<\/em>
\nKeys is yet to drop a set at the 2018 Roland Garros and will look to continue this run as she faces off against Putintseva. Surprisingly, Putintseva won the pairs only meeting back in 2016 in a tight three set contest. But the American will be too strong on this occasion and will move into her first French Open semifinal.
\nPrediction: Keys in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Manuel:<\/em>
\nPutintseva has had an incredible run, but it’s at this stage of Grand Slam tournaments that fairytale runs usually end.
\nPrediction: Keys in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Nurein:<\/em>
\nMadison Keys is the more accomplished player in this match. She has a better serve, better groundstrokes and is a great mover as compared to her opponent. But having said that, Yulia Putintseva has been exceeding expectations. I probably have to chew my words having labeled her a moonballer prior to her match against Konta. Putintseva also beat Stephens in Nurenmberg just before the French Open. I\u2019m inclined to back the Kazakh woman to reach her first ever Grand Slam semifinal, but it is hard to see her handling the power of Keys. I\u2019m tipping the American to continue her fine run in Paris, but I would not be surprised one bit if “Poots\u2019” springs an upset.
\nPrediction: Keys in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Steen:<\/em>
\nPutinseva looks to be living up to her potential but Keys should be too tough at this stage.
\nPrediction: Keys in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Brett:<\/em>
\nMadison Keys continues to surprise on clay. I don’t think she thought she would make it this far, but here she is with a great opportunity to get to the semifinals. Putintseva’s nice run will get her back near the top 50, but I think Keys will get to the semifinals.
\nPrediction: Keys in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesh:<\/em>
\nI would not have expected Madison Keys to do this well on clay, but she’s not losing to Putinseva. Winning in the semifinals might be tough for this American, but she will definitely get there.
