World No. 5 Madison Keys will face Armenia's Elina Avanesyan in the second round of the 2025 Miami Open on Friday, March 21.
Trending
Avanesyan's Miami campaign began with a tough test against Russian Erika Andreeva in the first round as she was pushed to three sets. However, she prevailed 6-1, 6-7(4), 6-4 in the end. Keys, on the other hand, received a bye in the opening round, having entered the main draw as seed No. 5.
Prior to the WTA 1000 event in Miami, Avanesyan participated in eight tournaments, with her best showings being the semifinal finishes at the Hobart International and the Merida Open.
The American has been in the form of her life since the turn of the year as she began with a quarterfinal finish at the ASB Classic and followed it up with title-winning runs at the Adelaide International and, most significantly, at the Australian Open. Following her Grand Slam triumph, she next played in Indian Wells and reached the semifinals before being thrashed by Aryna Sabalenka.

Madison Keys vs Elina Avanesyan prediction
Avanesyan is currently on a 10-8 record for the season and hasn't defeated a Top 10 player so far while Keys has 18 wins in 20 matches in 2025 and recently improved her career-high ranking to World No. 5.
Also, Keys will step on the court with a fresher pair of legs since Avanesyan has already survived a tough battle against Erika Andreeva in the opening round of the Miami Open. Thus, the American has a better chance of qualifying for the third round of the WTA 1000 event.
Pick: Madison Keys to win in straight sets.
