Haddad Maia vs Kalinina Prediction

Beatriz Haddad Maia ended the inspired run of Colombian qualifier Camila Osorio, winning 6-3, 6-3 in an hour and 21 minutes. Osorio was a serving wreck, tallying nine double faults in the match, handing three breaks to Haddad Maia on a silver platter. The Brazilian duly obliged, winning 42% of her return points. Anhelina Kalinina, meanwhile, came to Rome with a negative win-loss record and with a strong possibility of dropping outside the top 50. But three wins have turned the tide, taking her to the quarterfinals for the first time since the second week of January in Hobart. She did it the hard way, coming from a set down to defeat big-hitting Madison Keys. Haddad Maia comes in as a slight favorite, but half of her 10 losses this year have come while she is the favorite. But the Brazilian’s lefty serve works a treat on these slow playing conditions in Rome especially against right handers. Kalinina’s run this week has been decent and could be good value to get a set here, but we think Haddad Maia has shaken off her occasional lapses in concentration to make the semis.
