Keys led the U.S. team to the Queen’s Club quarterfinals
Keys advanced to the quarterfinals of the Queen’s Club Championship with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Anastasia Zakharova on Wednesday. American players Emma Navarro and Amanda Anisimova also progressed further. Australian Open champion Keys faced some discomfort at the start of the first set of her first grass-court match this season, writes https://xrust.ru/. To clarify, she was trailing 3-1. However, she didn’t panic and quickly recovered, winning the next five games and finishing the set with an ace midway through her serve. Zakharova had promising moments in the second set, but she couldn’t withstand Keys’ power, who converted five break points and secured victory with an unreturned serve, wrapping up the match in 68 minutes.
After Navarro saved a match point in the second set, Haddad Maia led 4-2 in the tiebreak. But the Brazilian lost momentum when the game was paused to allow a spectator to receive medical aid. Haddad Maia then began to make errors, and Navarro seized the opportunity, forcing her opponent into a deciding set. In this set, the Brazilian lost her serve due to a double fault before Navarro claimed victory in a match that lasted almost three hours. Navarro advanced to the quarterfinals alongside Anisimova, who needed just 64 minutes to defeat Sonay Kartal 6-1, 6-3. This was the second British player she beat in the tournament after Jodie Burrage.
All hopes for British success in doubles were also dashed when Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter lost 6-2, 7-5 to the superior Erin Routliffe and Lyudmyla Kichenok.
