Caroline Wozniacki vs Beatriz Haddad Maia prediction
Caroline Wozniacki vs Beatriz Haddad Maia's fourth-round encounter promises to be an exciting one for the fans, with both of them heading into it on the back of some great form.
The two-time US Open finalist Wozniacki has been in excellent form over the past week, demonstrating nearly flawless tennis both on serve and from the baseline. She has been especially solid on serve, not facing a single break point in her first two rounds leading up to this match. Her net play has also been impressive, as she won 100% of her points at the net in her previous encounter.
Haddad Maia, meanwhile, had a slow start but has impressed in her last two rounds. She has been consistent on serve but has excelled in the long rallies and on returns. In her previous match, she converted an impressive 5 out of 6 break-point opportunities and won 53% of all return points.
We can expect another intense baseline battle, as both players excel in that area. The faster hard courts at Flushing Meadows are likely to benefit Wozniacki slightly more due to her more aggressive play and frequent approaches to the net. Haddad Maia’s solid baseline game, however, means she won’t be easy to beat, so we could be in for a real thriller.
Haddad Maia could edge out the win based on her statistics this year, but Wozniacki has always been in a different element in New York. Given her experience and superior record at the Flushing Meadows, we could very likely see the 34-year-old Dane cause another upset at the US Open this year.
Pick: Wozniacki in three sets.
