Dayana Yastremska vs Beatriz Haddad Maia prediction

Dayana Yastremka aims to end a run of three straight defeats in Abu Dhabi.

The Ukrainian opened the year with back-to-back wins in Brisbane but has since come up short.

Next up, she faces Brazil’s Beatriz Haddad Maia, who is playing just her third match of 2026 and is still waiting for a first win despite going three with both Victoria Mboko and Yulia Putintseva.

This will be a first clash between two big-hitting baseline huggers. It will no doubt come down to who manages to control their power most efficiently and keep the unforced errors to a minimum.

Both players will be keen to get back to winning ways and given they could both red-line at different moments in the match, there’s a decent possibility it could go three, although we tend to side with world number 28 Yastremska overall.
