The winner of the first major of the year is always going to be hotly-tipped for the remainder of the season and world No. 7 Madison Keys will be hungry for another title.
She is in action today after a first round win win over Daria Saville and will take on Great Britain’s Katie Boulter.
After picking up her first major at the Australian Open, 30-year-old Keys made amends for runs deep into past majors where she fell agonisingly short.
She has nine WTA Tour singles titles to her name, the latest of which came in Adelaide before the Australian Open. Keys did not have an ideal warm-up on clay after exiting the Italian Open in the round of 32 but she will be one to watch.
