Belinda Bencic v Beatriz Haddad Maia Head to Head

There have been two previous meetings between these two players, both of which came last season and in hardcourt competitions. It’s tied at 1-1 at the moment.

Bencic Shuts Out Shelby

Bencic had exhibited signs of consistency over the last season that she very rarely had before that and the Swiss number one looks to have continued in the same vein this season.

Coming into her quarterfinal match against Shelby Rogers she had won nine of the 11 matches she had played in 2023. And a straight-set win over Rogers made it her 10th win which includes a WTA title for the season.

The world number nine claimed a 7-6 (5), 6-2 victory over her American opponent in a match lasting an hour and 48 minutes, as Bencic saved five break-points in the encounter. Incidentally, Bencic needed just two break-points – breaking Rogers both times – to carve out the win.

Having gotten herself a first round bye and after beating Marta Kostyuk in the second round, Bencic will hope to continue in the same vein come her semifinal against the world number 14.

Haddad Maia Shocks Rybakina

On paper and according to the bookmakers this was a mismatch. Elena Rybakina was a 1/4 favourite to win her quarterfinal against Beatriz Haddad Maia and 45 minutes into the contest it looked like going to script too.

Haddad Maia had other ideas though as she fought back from being a set down to clinch a three-set win in two hours and six minutes.

In what was Haddad Maia’s third successive three-set win, she overcame the Australian Open runner-up 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. This followed a three-set win over Yulia Putintseva in a match that lasted over three hours.

Enduring 19 aces off the Rybakina racquet, Haddad Maia was broken just once in the match – it came in the first set.

The challenge now is to usurp an in-form Bencic despite the amount of time that Haddad Maia has already spent on court.

Bencic v Haddad Maia Prediction and Tip

Bencic is 4/9 to win this and we think that while Haddad Maia has fought rather well all tournament, it would be too much to expect her to continue in the same vein. Straight-set win for the Swiss player here.
