Command Analysis
Beatriz Haddad Maia
BrazilCurrent form
Haddad Maia played two great matches in Wuhan last week against Keys and Kudermetova. It seemed that Beatrice would be able to easily cope with Frech in the 1/8 finals after such victories, but instead there was an unexpected defeat (3-6, 2-6). In Ningbo, the Brazilian tennis player started right from the second round and barely overcame the resistance of Boulter (7-6, 7-5).
Professional qualities
Beatriz has a powerful first serve, which is not very convenient to receive, since the tennis player is left-handed. At the same time, Haddad Maia relies more on long rallies and sharp counterattacks in her game. In addition, she is distinguished by her endurance and is always ready for protracted battles on the court.
Current indicators in the tour
The Brazilian tennis player is currently ranked number ten in the world, which is her best achievement in her career. On open hard courts, she has won 25 matches and lost 15 since the beginning of the year.

Paula has two difficult victories on local courts over Schneider (4-6, 6-3, 6-3) and Wang Xiyu (6-7, 6-1, 6-2).

2.21Tip and bets
Bookmakers give a significant advantage to the Spanish tennis player in the upcoming game, given her recent successes. However, in Ningbo, Badosa is not playing so flawlessly, she has a hard time getting into the game, and does not immediately find the optimal pace. Haddad Maia managed to break Bulter resistance in the previous match due to her stable actions on the back line and is unlikely to leave the court without a fight today. We recommend a forecast for the underdog in this pair.
