Madison Keys of the United States will play against Anastasia Potapova of Russia in the second round of the BNP Paribas Open.

Potapova, meanwhile, has had a far less eventful year so far. She lost in the Round of 16 of Brisbane International and reached the second rounds of the Australian Open and the Dubai Tennis Championships. The Russian then won her first-round match against Jessica Bouzas in three sets in Indian Wells.

Madison Keys vs Anastasia Potapova prediction
Keys is on a roll at the moment. She is going through a purple patch in her career. As a result, the American will try to make the most of her red-hot form. Winning a Masters 1000 title on her home soil will be her next target.
However, Potapova, who is ranked 34th in the world, is no pushover. She has a solid game and great movement on the court, which might test the resolve of Keys. However, the American has the more powerful groundstrokes of the two players.
Keys' forehand is a great weapon of hers, which should prove to be a crucial factor for winning the match against the Russian. Potapova, however, has age on her side and will want to move Keys around rigorously to tire the latter.
The Russian has the uphill task of stopping the American's great run at the moment. However, Keys might prove too much for her.
Pick: Keys to win in straight sets.
