Ashleigh Barty is in unbelievable form right now. She has a streak of nine victories and has beaten all her rivals at the 2022 Australian Open to nil. Her stats are perfect and her play is flawless.

However, Madison Keys has a streak of ten victories now and has won 11 out of 12 matches this year. She has performed outstandingly in the 2022 season. Besides, the American has met much stronger rivals at the 2022 Australian Open, like Paula Badosa and Barbora Krejcikova.
