Madison Keys beat Talia Gibson in straight sets at the Lexus WTA Eastbourne Open. Felix Gill is not part of that match, but the Day 3 slate now puts the #2 seed into a second-round spot against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.
Keys lost her serve just once and won 83% of her first serve points. Those numbers explain why the opening match moved through quickly and why she enters the next round in strong form.
Day 3 at WTA Eastbourne
All eight second-round matches will be played on Day 3 of the Lexus WTA Eastbourne Open. That gives Keys a short turn between rounds and puts her next test into a packed schedule rather than a standalone slot.
Jessica Bouzas Maneiro arrives after a good grass season so far, but the preview still points to Keys prevailing in straight sets. That projection is tied to the surface and to the way Keys handled Talia Gibson, holding firm behind a first serve that kept her out of trouble.
Keys after Talia Gibson
The straight-sets win matters because Keys is the #2 seed and the draw now moves her into a second-round match she is expected to control. The path is simple from here: keep the serve percentage high, avoid the kind of breaks that can lengthen a grass-court match, and make Bouzas Maneiro play from behind.
The one detail still hanging over the scoreline is the actual set score against Gibson. Even without it, the match data says enough about the shape of the result: Keys protected serve, won efficiently, and carried that form into a Day 3 meeting with Bouzas Maneiro.

That next match is the immediate checkpoint for Keys at the Lexus WTA Eastbourne Open. If she repeats the same serve numbers, the move from opening round to second round should stay on track, and the Day 3 schedule will have one of its clearest favorites already moving through.
