Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Sonay Kartal prediction

Beatriz Haddad Maia has been playing far from her best tennis since arriving in North America and despite arriving into Queens as the 21st seed, her performance levels will need to improve significantly if she is to go far in this competition. Especially as her opponent has previous when it comes to winning matches in a Grand Slam.

Sonay Kartal has enjoyed a huge career breakthrough in 2025, particularly when it comes to Grand Slam events. After making it to the second round at Roland-Garros, Kartal shone at Wimbledon, beating the likes of Jelena Ostapenko on her way to the fourth round, a career best run at a slam. She’ll head to Flushing Meadows with no fear and full belief that she can once again knock out a seeded opponent in the first round.

When factoring all this into the equation, we could see a really close match with Kartal pushing the Brazilian to the limit. It would be no surprise if three sets were required to determine a winner, so back this outcome regardless of who eventually comes out on top.
