Command Analysis

Beatriz Haddad Maia

Current form
Haddad Maya obviously can't take the interim results of the tour since the beginning of the year to his credit. The Brazilian tennis player won only two victories, both of which were at the Australian Open, and suffered five defeats. Beatrice tried her hand in Doha last week and lost in the first round to Magdalena Freh (4-6, 6-3, 2-6).
Professional qualities
Haddad Maya is left-handed, which creates some difficulties for her rivals. In general, she is more inclined to play on the back line, knows how to wait for the moment for a sharp finishing blow, is distinguished by her endurance and good speed.
Current indicators in the tour
The best result in Beatrice's career is the tenth place in the world ranking. She is currently the 16th racket of the world, but if she continues her unsuccessful performances, she will leave the top 20. It should be noted that the Brazilian representative played twice on the courts in Dubai and failed to overcome the barrier of the first round.
