Madison Keys vs. Daria Kasatkina | 2025 Adelaide Quarterfinal | WTA Match Highlights

[@MariaCerase]

Madison Key's forehand is on fire! The speed of the winners is unbelievable.

[@charlesfaure1189]

When Keys is playing well it is an absolute joy to watch. Keep on believin', Madison!

[@alexrodriguez5370]

I love MADISON!!! I have been watching her since she was 14 yrs old. I appreciate how she carries herself on and off the court. My hope is that she wins a Grand Slam or 2. Then when she is ready she can help steer the WTA to sustained growth. Continued success!

[@shanebraund9987]

Its a pleasure to watch Keys in full flight.

[@mikeymata]

She is taking the title, she is unplayable when she plays like this

[@nt4081]

This was not the final. Do not jinx this, one match at a time. I only wish that she can play like this in the next match.

[@funkslave9425]

Nah she’s more than capable of playing garbage when it matters most. Story of her career unfortunately

[@GovernmentIssued]

Kasatakina is horrible against Keys. Styles make the match

[@utetennisfan5458]

​@@GovernmentIssued True. Luckily she has a 4:1 record vs Samsonova, and even records against Pegula and Putintseva. So if she can keep her mental game intact, she's got a decent chance.

[@Boymanjusri]

Daria’s slow too spin and defensive game is No match to Keys. But flatting hitting pegula can cause lots of trouble for her .

[@EntertainmentDaily-c1s]

Keys is hammering that ball. Wow. Kasatkina is just batting practice for most of the top players.

[@BLACKTREAT]

We have seen Keys play unbelievable and unbeatable several times during her career but always fall short at the end. Is 2025 her year?

[@charlesfaure1189]

It would be fun to see it.

Supreme performance from Keys !!!😊😊😊.

[@sandyrayport242]

Ive seen Keys go god-mode a few times now. here again.

[@charlesfaure1189]

Better have a real serve against Madison when she plays like this. Returning by Keys today was like watching batting practice. Daria really does need a serving consultant to fix that high school serve.

[@MrPiotrV]

keys' returns were absolutely on fire

[@charlesfaure1189]

Kasatkina never learned to serve. It's too bad. Very smart player, but has trouble controlling points against power players.

[@MrPiotrV]

@ true. and it’s not only the serves, she doesn’t really have any winning shots. her only winning tactic is keeping the ball in play until the opponent makes a mistake but that doesn’t really work against the top players

[@bonniebob2802]

Both very good competitors and classy athletes

[@stefanodelstef7988]

Way to go Madison! Played a good game and hope she can maintain that during the year.

[@AFCompany]

Keys secretly switched to Yonex and it is making her strokes huge. Hopefully she can keep it up. I feel like every year she looks amazing right before the Australian Open but it never translates into the tournament.

[@ivanhall6482]

She changed her strings too in 2023 I think and she instantly went deep in 2 slams (probably should have beaten Aryna in atleast one of those matches). This is another really smart switch, the Yonex with new strings has created power and stability. Love it!

[@crosscourtwinner]

the yonex is clearly helping her add more spin/consistency to her game. i'm glad she was open enough to test gear and look for ways to improve. wish more players weren't so reluctant to change.

[@lelet00738]

Congrats Madison for a very good game.🤗

[@tomgraham6071]

Kasatkina's game has always been perfect for Keys. Slow loop coming, lots of time to position the feet, ball sits up nicely, gobble gobble. That's how Keys likes to play. To beat her you have to retrieve to frustrate her, but also not give her plenty of slow loopy droopy time to set up her feet, which she is not good at. If you can do those things we know she so often falls apart and can lose to anyone. Kasatkina is sadly just prey for her because of how she plays.

[@jordanaus75]

A bigger serve, a low slice and deeper placement would help. Hard to move Keys around if you're always on the back foot. But its easier said than to execute of course.

[@tomgraham6071]

@jordanaus75 yes it's all very easily said, true, but plenty of lesser players than Kasatkina have undone Keys. She's one of the most beatable players out there if you can make her uncomfortable on her shots, which many seem to achieve. Not to take away from Keys, who has always been a phenomenal ball striker when she's hitting well.

[@tbwatch88]

brutal

[@appartement2046]

Kasatkina overpowered. Though both really need to change up their baseline play for the Open next week.

[@TheFighter411]

Omg…..that return Maddie hit at 2:23….BANG 💥🔥 Ima NEED her to win a slam in the near future!

[@bobbyearles4230]

Keys is absolutely mashing the ball. She's playing with a new racquet and it's really working for her. Also, she looks fitter than she has in years. She was chasing balls down even when she didn't really need the point. I think she could be a real factor in Melbourne. Let's go Maddie!

[@Scottrevans87]

Madison changed her serve motion. She was a platform server similar to Federer / Djokovic and has changed to bringing the right foot forward - seems like it’s helping her load & uncoil more.

[@kyokendl373]

Those returns made me smile so big 😅

[@3.pixelz]

Madison one of the most clutch players! She coming for all them titles this year!

[@colesmith7509]

She is the opposite of clutch. She’s insanely talented but crumbles in big moments. I wouldn’t be shocked if she took the Australian open if she plays like this though

[@nt4081]

@@colesmith7509 Big IF. Most of the ladies are not consistent enough to play this way for weeks. Arayna and Coco, and The drug enhanced Iga are the only ones. I am inclined to forget Iga, but I know someone would say , but IGa... So I included her.

[@rootdoc1997]

Madison is on fire!!! Hope she has a great run at the Open

[@tjr-007tt]

Kasatkina’s game is too passive against someone like Madison Keys. Keys was just teeing off on everything.

[@davebeery_youtube]

[@ivanhall6482]

I've always been suprised at how little Madie troubles Iga, she on paper is the perfect player to give her trouble. I hope this year she goes for it and maximizes her talent! ❤

[@lars277]

Madison is great.

[@redbunnytail9528]

You watch Keys and she pretty 'easy' way about her on tennis court, even when she lose. And. In back of mind, you wonder HOW she no make it deepr into big tournament, more often. High level charisma, as player and as player in action. I don't think this match go unnotice by top seeds. This not what they wanna see from Madison.

[@MoorishBrooklyn]

Keys us in the zone. She means business in this tournament.

[@longinusgalaxy411]

Keys keep this level and be consistent.

[@jordanaus75]

I really like Kasatkina's game but she is going to have develop some power of her own to match it with the big hitters, including a bigger serve

[@colesmith7509]

The thing is she can crush ground strokes occasionally. I can’t fathom why she didn’t do it in this match because she was pummeled even in the games she won

[@McKelT]

Madison Keys when she is on…SHE IS ON. Here’s your crown queen 👸

[@KCNwokoye]

Congrats Madison, hopefully it keeps firing for Australia.

[@nt4081]

Go Keys! Like to see some of these ladies play well.

[@Treeboox]

[@wendysnelgrove5870]

Wow. I was cheering for Dasha but she had no hope when Keys is painting the lines like that.

[@Jp3D33]

Maddie is such a joy to watch, especially when she is playing this well.

[@satishpatil1260]

Looks like Madison is using different racquet than Blade V9? is that a V10?

[@aks1997ify]

Her ball striking was impeccable. If she could move better she’d easily have won grandslams.

[@6ixdegrees15]

Keys LOVES Adelaide doesn't she?? She has always pummelled Dasha and that H2H keeps getting uglier for Kasatkina. Some of her most consistent results have been from these parts of the world. Aussie conditions suit Maddie very well.

[@tennissir1986]

Was Kasatkina at this match ?

[@RandyDizon-p5u]

Wow when Maddie is seeing the ball like this…. She can beat every single person on the tour. Love seeing Maddie play on hard courts

[@funkslave9425]

Then why doesn’t she win? She barely has a masters 1000 title in over a decade on the tour

[@alexreznik0]

I could not understand from this digest: has Kasatkina resisted? In the digest it appears like Keys played while her opponent - not.

[@eyemd]

[@BoomerBaskins]

Madison just needs to stay healthy stay healthy and stay healthy. She’s looking great.

[@godz4ever404]

MK looking good; peeps need to pay her more attention for AO!

[@nt4081]

No, she gets attention, but she has not shown any consistency in about 7 years. Play great most of the time you get the attention. Check Aryna Sabalenka and Coco. They both have the media behind them because they had results. I like Madison, but she has not won much or shown her ability in many years. I hope it is her Year.

[@godz4ever404]

@nt4081 I know and I can't put my finger on it in these majors for her. It's always SOMETHING! She was destroying Saba at (I think) last year's US Open, then she got injured and then 2024 Wimby with Jazz P injured again. It's gotta be the pressure of the moment or something. I just don't understand! 🤕

[@joyceblackwood9335]

Maddy continues to be aggressive, and you will win this tournament.

[@ajollypanda4175]

Whoever coached daria to be/ allowed her to be this passive when she was learning tennis as a younger player, really set her up for failure

[@nt4081]

I do not know if she has a coach, I believe the one he did have left once she made You Tube with the girlfriend a priority.

[@al1976-v7m]

@@nt4081 i think the commenter talked about her childhood coach. She was a big Nafal fan so probably wanted to play like this.

The fact that they’re showing so much of just the first two games in such a short video tells me it’s going to be ugly…. (Three minutes later) Yeah.

[@RaphaClassic]

At least in the points we saw here Dasha's serve was very predictable... Slice to the forehand, almost no flat serve or real kick.

[@al1976-v7m]

She always uses the slice serve, she doesn't seem to have a kicker. Probably would hurt her even more because it would sit up for her opponents to be pummeled. Maybe it's because Nadal never used a kick serve? She idolized him and has obviously modeled her game after him.

[@bradlaidwladiroskov]

[@lilydog1000]

Kasatkina's serve is too weak for an in form Keys.

Keys seem to be using Yonex? Based on the head shape and butt cap of the racket. Her shots seem more lethal, don’t know if it’s this switch from Wilson or maybe it’s just her on day.

Well done by Keys. Hoping both players have a strong showing at the AO. Now will Keys keep playing like this or turn again into the s/one who looks like some middling #73 ranked player?
