Emma Navarro vs Beatriz Haddad Maia Prediction 4/15/25 Stuttgart Tennis Picks

Overall, Navarro has posted a respectable 13-8 record for the season and bagged her first WTA 500 title on the hard courts of Merida in Mexico at the start of March. Last year, Navarro won 14 matches on clay, which was her best return at this level.

Beatriz Haddad Maia Preview

Beatriz Haddad Maia is still Brazil's No. 1 player on either tour, but she has struggled immensely for form in the first three months of the season. And that cost her country dearly in the Billie Jean King Cup qualifying last weekend, where she lost her two singles matches against Linda Noskova and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.

Those two defeats compound her loss tally for the season and stretch it to double digits (11 defeats). She has won just two matches, both being at the Australian Open, where she reached the third round. Outside of that, she has lost her opening match at every other WTA tournament she has played in. Although her ranking has not suffered extensive damage (only 17th right now), she needs to pick up points in this clay swing. Haddad Maia defends plenty of points in the second half of the season.

Emma Navarro vs Beatriz Haddad Maia Prediction

Haddad Maia opens as a +290 underdog, which is quite huge on clay. But in the form she is in, she is unlikely to beat Emma Navarro. She has a dismal 2-11 record for the year, and she's fortunate that she didn't defend a lot of ranking points in the first three months of the season; otherwise, her ranking could have fallen massively. It's unclear whether she is carrying an injury because her performances have been lackluster and bereft of any intensity. Her confidence is clearly dented, and her counterpunching has gone stale. I'm happy to back Navarro to pull this off in straight sets.
