The Brazilian tennis player Beatriz Haddad Maiasixth seed, won this Wednesday of 7-6(6), 6-7(1) and 6-1 in polish Magda Linette (n.55 WTA) in a marathon match that lasted more than three and a half hours, and sealed her place in quarterfinals of the Abu Dhabi tournamentwhich will be held on a fast track.
Exactly three hours and 44 minutes will be needed for the Roland Garros semi-finalist in 2023 to achieve his second victory over the rival he faced last year, at the Rome Masters.
The endless energy of the 31-year-old Pole made it difficult for the Brazilian who, despite winning the first set, narrowly, found himself stuck in the second due to a lack of precision in the tie-break – a 0% save the break points compared to 75% of his opponent.
In the decisive match, Haddad Maia got his act together, turned the situation around and closed the game with a clear 6-1, thus taking the match.
In the quarterfinals, the champion of the Madrid Masters 1000 (2023) will face the winner of the match that will be played this afternoon between the English Emma Raducanu, 296 in the WTA, and the second seed, the Tunisian Ons Jabeur (n . 6 WTA).
