Beatriz Haddad Maia has shown a high level of play and a desire to win in the previous matches of the tournament. In her last matches, she was able to overcome the resistance of her opponent Kostyuk and secure a victory. On the other hand, Krejcikova defeated another Ukrainian sportswoman Kalinina, but not as convincingly. Brazilian tennis player Haddad Maia has not even made it past the second round in recent American tournaments, but she has already broken her streak of bad luck in the current tournament. Unlike Haddad Maia, Krejcikova is not impressing with her game, and accumulated fatigue may negatively affect her performance. Therefore, it is expected that the Brazilian athlete will be able to win this match.
Barbora Krejcikova defeated Beatriz Haddad Maia last year and has an advantage in their head-to-head matchups. Krejcikova is ranked 13th, making her one of the leaders in women's tennis. She has also performed strongly on hard courts, winning the tournament in Dubai and defeating opponents like Kasatkina, Kvitova, and Sabalenka. On the other hand, Haddad Maia has played two long three-set matches and may be experiencing physical and emotional strain. This could negatively impact her performance against Krejcikova. Taking all these factors into consideration, it can be assumed that Krejcikova has a better chance of winning and continuing her successful run in the tournament.
In this match between Beatriz Haddad Maia and Barbora Krejcikova, we can expect a longer game. Haddad Maia's recent match lasted over three hours, and she was able to win on the fourth match point. This shows her endurance and readiness to play for a long time. Krejcikova also demonstrated a good game in her previous match, winning with a score of 6-3, 6-2. She continues to save most of the break points and improves her serving game. Taking these factors into account, my prediction is under 23.5 games total. Both players show consistency and rarely lose their serves. Krejcikova has already played 16 matches without a exchange of breaks, and Haddad Maia fights for every game and does not allow her opponents to gain an advantage. This prediction is based on the expectation of a close and long battle between the two players.
