Paula Badosa found herself perplexed during her match against Madison Keys uanble to fathom the power of the American.

Keys played an immaculate style of tennis that frustrated Badosa a lot by the time the match was over. The Spaniard is known as a pretty good server and very hard hitter however it was not enough to counter Keys who has power of her own. On the matchup Badosa admitted:

"Sometimes I was serving 180. I had to look what the service said because I didn't understand how a winner came back that fast."
