Sara Sorribes Tormo and Beatriz Haddad Maia meet in the fourth round of the 2023 tennis French Open. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

Sara Sorribes Tormo Betting Preview

Sara Sorribes Tormo is coming off a walkover victory over Elena Rybakina, as she was forced to withdraw due to a fever and a headache. Sara will now be well rested for this match, considering she’s played just 3 hours and 40 minutes to get here. Sara hasn’t lost a set through 2 matches, and she’s won 6 of her last 7 played matches. These last couple of weeks is the best tennis Sara has played this year. Sara looks to make her first ever grand slam quarterfinal appearance, as this is also her first ever fourth round trip. Sara has won 6 of her last 7 matches on clay court.

Beatriz Haddad Maia Betting Preview

Haddad Maia is coming off a 3 sets win over Ekaterina Alexandrova that took 34 games to decide. In the victory, Haddad Maia won 62 percent of her first serve points and 39 percent of her second serve points. Haddad Maia won 54 percent of her total service points and converted on 8 of her 13 break points. Haddad Maia got 64 percent of her first serves in play and hit 0 aces. Haddad Maia has now won 5 of her last 9 matches that have gone the distance, and she’s won 3 matches in back to back tournaments. Haddad Maia looks to make her first ever grand slam quarterfinal appearance, as this is also her first ever fourth round trip. Haddad Maia has won 6 of her last 7 matches on clay court.

H2H History

The previous 4 meetings have been split down the middle. Haddad Maia won 2017 Seoul and 2019 Bogotá, while Sara won 2019 Bol and 2022 Melbourne. Two of the 4 matches were decided in straight sets.

Randy’s Pick

Haddad Maia is probably going to be favored to win this match, but Sara has not only won the last two meetings against her, but she has a massive rest advantage not having to play in the third round. This should be a competitive back and forth contest, but I kind of lean Sara to make her first grand slam quarterfinal.
