Sloane Stephens vs Beatriz Haddad Haia: Match Preview
Maia, ranked 19th in the world, will play 38th-ranked Stephens in the opening round of the 2023 US Open. At Wimbledon 2023, Maia was down by a set and had just been broken by Elena Rybakina in the second set when a back ailment caused her to withdraw from the match. Following her injury, she participated in the Canadian Open and Cincinnati Open, but her performance was below par as she lost in the opening rounds of the competition.
Stephens, on the other hand, has had a difficult start to the season, losing in the first-round matches. However, the fact that she defeated Anhelina Kalinina, Caroline Garcia, and Mirra Andreeva—in Montreal, Cincinnati, and Cleveland—seems to indicate that she is gradually regaining the kind of consistency that has been missing from her game in the short term.
Sloane Stephens vs Beatriz Haddad Haia: Match Prediction
It will be difficult to predict who will advance to the next round, but Stephens has a better chance of winning because she is currently in excellent form and hits her shots hard. Maia will find it challenging to move around quickly because she just suffered a back injury. But one shouldn’t overlook Maia’s potential to change the outcome of the game; she will need to rediscover her rhythm and pay close attention to the court to do so.
Match Prediction: Sloane Stephens to win in 3 sets
