On Monday, the 2022 WTA Canadian Open's opening round match is played between Americans Madison Keys and Asia Muhammad.
Keys started the year off in Australia with some outstanding tennis performances. She did not do much to follow it up after that run, and her tennis was very inconsistent. For Madison Keys, who has a terrific gift when she is at her best, which happens so infrequently, it is nothing new. This year’s score is 20-12, and the team has a 15-7 record on hard courts. Her favourite time of the season is approaching, and this is the perfect surface for it. Given the circumstances, it’s not unlikely that Keys will find a very high level throughout these weeks. The results of her return to San Jose were inconsistent. She defeated Zhang in her opening round before losing to Ons Jabeur in the second round. She will try to start off in Toronto with a victory because the draw was favourable.
Asia Muhammad is most known for her skill in doubles, but during the past year, the American has been putting a lot of her attention into singles. She is playing better and better, and her performance in Canada demonstrates that she made the right decision. She was able to enter the qualifiers here by climbing up to position 200, and she played two very strong sets to defeat two strong opponents. The first match was a straight-set victory against Andrea Petkovic, while the second was a convincing victory over Donna Vekic of Croatia. Her North American campaign got off to a fantastic start because good results here might help her climb the rankings even further. She enjoys serving from the baseline and has a strong serve, so the conditions are ideal for her. The serve will be crucial, and if she can maintain it at a high level, she will be in matches.
Madison Keys and Asia Muhammad are scheduled to face one another in the round of 64 of the 2022 Canadian Open on Monday, August 8. The tournament is scheduled to run from August 8 till August 15.
The 2022 edition of the Canadian Open is set to begin from August 8 and go on until August 15. The men’s final is scheduled to be on August 15 and the women’s one is set to be held on August 14. There will be six rounds of play in the main draw excluding the qualifiers.
