Serena Williams (USA) [1] vs. Madison Keys (USA)

Serena has not looked unbeatable in Melbourne.  That seems to bode well for Keys.  Still, Serena closes exceptionally well in tournaments.  She is 4-6 sets of playing away from a 6th Australian Open title and 19th Grand Slam title!  I think Serena sees the finish line.  If Keys plays well she can keep this match close.  If it is close, strange things might happen.  Keys has a lot of talent and played with poise to beat Venus in 3 sets.  Still, Serena is the favorite (CLEARLY).

My prediction: Serena Williams d. Madison Keys 6-3, 6-2
