Anisimova and Haddad Maia renew their rivalry at the US Open with a quarterfinal spot at stake.
Eighth seed Amanda Anisimova is set for a high-stakes clash with 18th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia in the 2025 US Open fourth round. Haddad Maia survived an opening three-setter against Sonay Kartal before rolling past Viktorija Golubic and Maria Sakkari, while Anisimova eased past Kimberly Birrell and Maya Joint but was pushed to three sets by Jaqueline Cristian.
Anisimova’s year has been a mix of highs and setbacks. She lifted the Doha title with a statement win over Jelena Ostapenko and made finals in London and Wimbledon. Yet, her Wimbledon run ended in brutal fashion, falling to Iga Swiatek by a double bagel. Injuries and withdrawals in Charleston, Singapore, and Hobart disrupted her rhythm, though her stats remain sharp with 46 matches played, 44.8% break-point conversion, 145 aces, and 65% first-serve points won. Her aggressive baseline game is always a threat in New York.

For Haddad Maia, 2024’s quarterfinalist, the season has been modest. A semifinal in Strasbourg and a quarterfinal in Bad Homburg were her standout results, while early exits defined much of her year. She brings solid numbers, though, with 85 aces, 63.3% first-serve points won, and a 39% break-point conversion rate across 32 matches. But her best form came in doubles, where she captured the Nottingham crown with Laura Siegemund.

Amanda Anisimova leads their head-to-head 2-1. Their rivalry began in Bogota, where the American mounted a comeback to win in three sets. She followed up with a straight-sets victory in Doha, but Haddad Maia struck back the following year in Adelaide with a composed straight-sets win of her own.

Anisimova’s serve and superior return numbers suggest she has the edge in baseline exchanges. Though the Brazilian’s ability to extend rallies could push this into a tough battle, still the edge is held by Anisimova.
