Keys currently has a win-loss this season of 27-15. At the US Open she defeated Agnieszka Radwanska in the third round to reach the last sixteen. The American has experienced a high amount of success in the Grand Slam tournaments this year. She reached the semi-final of the Australian Open at the start of the year and made the quarter-finals at Wimbledon. On the other hand Keys has enjoyed less success outside of the four main tournaments. Her best result on the WTA Tour was runner-up at the Family Circle Cup in Charleston.
Following Keys withdraw, the highest ranked player left in the tournament is defending champion Mirjana Lučić-Baroni. The Croat won her first title in sixteen years at last year’s tournament, which broke a WTA record for the longest gap between titles on the tour.
