Barbora Krejcikova vs. Beatriz Haddad Maia: Preview and betting tips

The quarter-finals of the tournament in Tallinn, Estonia, will offer a very interesting match between Barbora Krejcikova and Beatriz Haddad Maiova. The chances of reaching the quarter-finals are very even, but the Brazilian is performing better this season.

Barbora Krejcikova is a 26-year-old tennis player who is currently ranked 27th in the WTA rankings. However, the Ivancice native’s career high is the second position, where she was still at the end of February.

In the calendar year 2022, she is not yet performing as she did in the previous year, while still waiting for the premier trophy. However, she has handled some very good opponents in Tallinn, beating both Tomljanovic and Kostyuk.

Her opponent on Friday will be Beatriz Haddad Mai. The 26-year-old tennis player from Brazil is currently ranked 15th in the WTA rankings, which is also her career high. She has already won 49 competitive matches this year.

Besides the challenger in Saint Malo, France, she has also managed to dominate two tournaments in the British Isles (Nottingham and Birmingham). Both events, played on grass, belong to the WTA 250 category.

She is also doing well on hard surfaces. This was confirmed in Tallinn, where she found the recipe for Xinya Wang in the first round. In the second round, she faced the 17-year-old Linda Noskova, whom she defeated after 6:1 and 7:5.

The players will be playing their first ever match. It would be hard to find a favourite in this clash, but the Brazilian is in better shape at the moment. But the 2021 Grand Slam champion will definitely not be without a chance, so we could see three sets.
