Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Ons Jabeur – Match Predictions
Contents
Under 19.5 Games
With the exception of Maia’s straight sets win over Tatjana Maria, Maia has been involved in long duels. The Brazilian’s subsequent three victories to reach the quarterfinals have been three-set affairs. Jabeur’s results have been on the contrary, with one three-set outing and three straight-set affairs. Their most recent meeting saw Jabeur make little work of Maia, finishing the game in 15 games. Given her form at Roland Garros, we believe a repeat is on the cards.
2-0 to Ons Jabeur
While Maia has been made to sweat on the court by rivals ranked below her, Jabeur has made little work of whoever has stood in front of her. Three of her four victories at the French Open have come with a 2-0 scoreline and this tally might be increasing at he end of this game. Only Jelena Ostapenko put up some resistance but it was futile as Jabeur managed to crush her spirit as well. Maia has been on the receiving end of straight-set defeats against Jabeur and we are backing more of the same in this duel as well.
Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Ons Jabeur Preview
Our predictions for this match have now been established, let’s see how these players have fared so far in the French Open.
Beatriz Haddad Maia
Currently ranked 14th in the world, Maia has been showcasing her skills on the clay court swing of the WTA tour. She has made her mark by reaching the quarterfinals in tournaments like Stuttgart, Rome, and Roland Garros. So far, she has confidently navigated her way through the competition, defeating opponents ranked below her. Although she has faced setbacks at this stage before on the red surface, not going beyond this stage she will be determined to put up a stronger performance as she takes on her familiar rival, Ons Jabeur.
Ons Jabeur
Ask any of Jabeur’s previous opponents and they will unanimously acknowledge her as a formidable competitor. Maia experienced this firsthand in the quarterfinals of the WTA Stuttgart tournament, and now they face each other once again where Jabeur will aim to replicate her previous success again. While Jabeur’s skills make her a force to be reckoned with, she is still grappling with maintaining her physical fitness. This was evident when she had to withdraw from her semi-final match against Iga Swiatek in Stuttgart. Nevertheless, as the world number 7, she will remain confident in her abilities, especially after securing the Charleston Open clay court title.
