Jaqueline Cristian vs Beatriz Haddad Maia prediction

Jaqueline Cristian has yet to hit top form on clay but will fancy her chances against Beatriz Haddad Maia.

The Romanian has two wins from three tournaments on the dirt, but it is her preferred surface and the world number 28 knows the Brazilian is way off form. 

The world number 78 is 0-8 on tour this year and with conditions slower, her power will be easier to neutralise, tipping the scales heavily in Jaqueline’s favour.
