Today in Montreal, another shining example as the American saved a pair of match points to get past <a href=\"https:\/\/tennisexpress.com\/pages\/tennis-player\/karolina-muchova\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Karolina Muchova<\/a>, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, to book a quarterfinal spot at the Omnium Banque Nationale.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"610\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/2023-pro-player-gear-610-150-w-logoNEWBIE.jpg\" alt=\"Tennis Express player gear\" class=\"wp-image-173\"  data-\/>Tennis Express player gear<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefinitely really happy to get that win,\u201d Keys said. \u201cShe\u2019s such a great player, and she\u2019s always such a tough opponent to go against. To be able to, after losing the first set, get back into the match, even being match points down, to be able to figure it out is always a good day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2016 finalist Keys has now won from match points down three times this season \u2013 against Iga Swiatek at the Australian Open, against Sofia Kenin at Roland-Garros, and now Montreal, where either Swiatek or Clara Tauson will be her next opponent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Muchova had a pair of match points with Keys serving at 4-5 in the third. Previously, Keys, who improved to 35-10 on the season with her win, dropped the opening set before hitting back to take the middle set without surrendering a break.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the third Muchova and Keys traded breaks, then the Czech saved three break points while serving at 2-2 to stay on serve. She then had the opportunities with Keys serving at 4-5, 30-40, and six points later at ad-out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Keys held her nerve and serve, then converted her third break point for 6-5. She converted her second match point to clinch the hard-earned win in two hours and 21 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"757\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/osaka-montreal-16.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54306\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"  data-\/>Osaka Routs Sevastova\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Naomi Osaka powered past Anastasija Sevastova 6-1, 6-0 in the second round of four women\u2019s singles round of 16 encounters on Saturday, the Japanese recording her 20th win of the season to match her entire 2024 total.<\/p>\n<p>Osaka got the win in 48 minutes as 386-ranked Sevastova had very little left after winning three three-setters to reach the round of 16.<\/p>\n<p>She will face either Amanda Anisimova or Elina Svitolina in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Madison Keys is having the year of her life, and she\u2019s overcoming hurdles at seemingly every tour stop.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,85,747],"class_list":{"0":"post-41189","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
