Seventh seed Madison Keys opens her Roland Garros journey this year against Australian Daria Saville in this first-round match to be played on Court Simonne-Mathieu. The pair will be meeting only for the third time in their careers, and will be facing each other for the first time in 8 years. Keys, with her win at the Australian Open this year, will be eyeing a rare feat if she can go all the way in Paris.

Madison Keys vs Daria Saville Preview

Eight-ranked Madison Keys started this year with a bang, consisting of strong wins at the Adelaide International, followed by her first Grand Slam win at the Australian Open, and a strong semi-final at India Wells.

However, since then, her form during the clay season has dipped slightly. Nevertheless, Keys has won just a shade under 75% of her service games this year, and has broken her opponent on 45% of the times.

Saville hasn’t had many top performances in 2025, with the highlight of the year coming at the Merida Open in Akron, where she reached the semi-finals. The Australian has won under 60% of her service games and just a little over 30% of her return games (31.6%) this year. She will have to do better in today’s match if she is to have any chance of taking down one of the top players on tour.
