Keys wins all-American tie to reach French Open last 16

American seventh seed Madison Keys edged past compatriot Sofia Kenin 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 on Saturday to reach the fourth round at Roland Garros.

Text size:

Keys will again face a fellow countrywomen in the next round after Hailey Baptiste downed Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6/4 (7/4), 6-1 earlier in the day.

Keys and Kenin shared breaks early in the decider, before the reigning Australian Open champion broke the 31st seed at 5-5 and then held serve to see out the match.

Former Australian Open champion and Roland Garros runner-up Kenin had led 3-0 in the third set and held three match points over Keys, before the world number eight turned the match round to book her place in the last 16
