Beatriz Haddad Maia will face fellow Brazilian Laura Pigossi in the round of 16 at the Sao Paulo Open. Haddad Maia comes in after a fourth-round appearance at the US Open, where she fell to Amanda Anisimova. Her singles season has been modest overall, with a semifinal in Strasbourg and a quarterfinal in Bad Homburg standing out amid several early-round exits. Doubles has been her stronger suit. She captured the Nottingham crown alongside Laura Siegemund and remains a consistent threat in that discipline. In singles, Haddad Maia’s numbers, per WTA, reflect her power-driven style with 92 aces in 35 matches, winning 63.9% of first-serve points while converting 39.9% of break chances.

Pigossi, meanwhile, has leaned heavily on doubles throughout her career. This season she reached her first WTA 250 final in Bogota with Irina Bara and continues to add to an already impressive resume of 21 ITF singles and 43 ITF doubles titles. Singles results at the tour level, however, have been sparse, as she has not advanced past the second round of any event in 2025, with most runs ending in qualifying. Statistically, her WTA singles record this season is limited to just two matches, where she produced one ace and posted a 58.5% first-serve win rate.

Beatriz Haddad Maia vs. Laura Pigossi Head-to-Head Record

Beatriz Haddad Maia holds a commanding 3-0 head-to-head over fellow Brazilian Laura Pigossi, though the scoreline doesn’t tell the full story. Their rivalry dates back to their teenage years in 2013, when Haddad Maia rallied from a set down in Ribeirao Preto to claim the win. They crossed paths again in 2016 at Sao Paulo and most recently in 2022 at the Saint Malo 125, with Bia prevailing. Yet, while Bia has swept the series, none of those victories came easily. Pigossi has consistently pushed her to three sets or tiebreaks.

Beatriz Haddad Maia vs. Laura Pigossi Prediction

Despite a modest singles season, Haddad Maia’s firepower and tour-level experience should give her the edge. However, Pigossi’s doubles reputation and fighting spirit may stretch rallies.

I understood those voices aren’t noise; they’re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.
