Seventh seed Madison Keys will open her Berlin Open campaign against Marketa Vondrousova, who enters with a protected ranking. The American arrives with momentum after deep runs at Roland Garros and in London. While Vondrousova is looking to reset her season after a string of injuries that have kept her on and off the court since last July. Still, with both players owning Grand Slam titles, this first-round clash promises action, especially if the Czech lefty is anywhere near her best.

Madison Keys vs. Marketa Vondrousova Preview

Keys has been in top form this season, winning titles in Adelaide and Melbourne and scoring big wins over Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek, Jessica Pegula, and Elina Svitolina. She also reached the semifinals in Indian Wells and London, along with quarterfinal runs in Madrid and Roland Garros. So far, she has hit 172 aces, winning 67.7% of first-serve points and 44.8% of return points, converting 43.9% of break points.

Vondrousova’s 2025 has been disrupted by injuries, starting with a recurring shoulder issue and later a thigh injury that forced her out of the Australian Open. She’s missed several events, including Rome, and has struggled for rhythm. Her best showing was a quarterfinal in Abu Dhabi and a third-round finish at Roland Garros. In 12 matches, she’s tallied 52 aces, with 65.8% first-serve points won and 48.2% return points won.

Madison Keys vs. Marketa Vondrousova Prediction

With two titles, a Roland Garros quarterfinal, and a recent semifinal in London, Keys has been one of the most consistent performers this season. Vondrousova, meanwhile, is still searching for form after repeated injury setbacks. Unless the Czech finds vintage rhythm quickly, Keys’ momentum and match sharpness should carry her through.
