Zeynep Sonmez vs Beatriz Haddad Maia prediction

Zeynep Sonmez defeated McCartney Kessler to make the second-round at Indian Wells, though she would go no further after a straight sets loss to Anna Kalinskaya in the next stage. Sonmez struggled in terms of results after making the third-round of the Australian Open for the first time at the end of January, but her form did pick up at the Merida Open as she reached the quarter-finals.

She begins her Miami Open campaign against Beatriz Haddad Maia. The Brazilian is woefully out-of-form at the moment, with no wins from her last five matches. She lost to Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in three sets at Indian Wells, and despite dropping down to compete in a WTA 125 event in Austin, her fortunes did not change as she lost in the first-round to Linda Fruhvirtova.

Haddad Maia cannot find a win from anywhere at the moment, and Sonmez is worth backing on this occasion. The Turk’s aggressive game should translate well to these conditions, and she will look to attack from the start.
