After that loss in Melbourne, Haddad Maia lost eight successive matches, which saw a sharp decline in the Brazilian's form. She received an opening-round bye at the Madrid Open, following which she snapped her losing streak with a 2-6, 6-3, 6-1 win over Bernarda Pera in the second round.

Belinda Bencic vs Beatriz Haddad Maia prediction
Bencic has a 57 percent win rate on clay with one title on the surface at the 2022 Charleston Open, where she won 6-1, 5-7, 6-4 against Ons Jabeur in the final. She is a former semifinalist in Madrid as she reached the last-four, losing 2-6, 7-6 (2), 0-6 against Simona Halep.
Hadda Maia has a 55 percent win rate on clay but has yet to reach a final on the surface. She is, however, a former semifinalist at Roland Garros as she reached the last-four in Paris in 2023, losing 2-6, 6-7 (7) against Iga Swiatek. Last year, she reached the quarterfinals in Madrid, losing 6-4, 0-6, 2-6 against Swiatek once again.
Bencic is the favorite for the upcoming match as she has a positive head-to-head against Hadda Maia, and the Brazilian has been in very poor form this year.
Pick- Bencic to win in straight sets
