Aryna Sabalenka vs. Madison Keys | 2024 Beijing Round of 16 | WTA Match Highlight

It just trampolines off the strings and suddenly it's by you. And Keyes no problem making the adjustment in order to chase down Swiantek and try to have a strong finish to the year. She always feels really good when she comes to China. In the top half of the draw joined by Amanda Anisimova. That's the variety that we were talking about. Former world number one. She's already through to the quarters. That's great. It's a great stab on the return. Cover that out wide serve a little bit better. And Madison Keyes finds her way through. She takes full advantage of her first break point. Madison did well to at least ask one more question of Sabalenka but no depth on it. Certainly not enough 13-14 but still in good stead. Oh and a little flare. Quality way to finish. And finishes strong. Her third hold at love. Wraps up the opening set. And the top seed in good form. Continues to move through. Unabated. Looking fantastic in route to what she hopes is her 15th straight win. But she's been under pressure today. Considerable amount. And she is able to finish. So 40-15 does not evaporate. And the good hands people at the net. Irina Sabalenka. Former world number one in doubles at the middle of the court. I just didn't hesitate at all. Was very decisive. Oh my gosh. Wow. Even surprised herself a bit. Just a muscle memory for Sabalenka. I think she was going to maybe get a racket on that ball. It was a great shot from Keyes. I mean that was an incredible half-volley. Yeah. Just took it on the short hop. Put it deep as well. Irina from love 30 down. Still could push to 3-1. And her fifth hold of the day closes the gap. Yes. Maddie. Sometimes it helps when you have a little less time. Don't think you just have one shot in mind. And did that beautifully. Just unrelenting. Just continuing to feel the impact of Sabalenka's heavy forehand. And Madison Keyes succumbs to Irina Sabalenka for the fourth time in five meetings. Not to be for the American today. As there was all the top seed. An absolutely phenomenal start to finish performance. As she reaches the quarterfinals in Beijing for the third time. 6-4, 6-3.
