Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Madison Keys Preview

Beatriz Haddad Maia remains in contention for a spot at the 2024 WTA Finals, but you have to feel that winning the Wuhan Open title is the most viable route to get there. The Brazilian will also want to achieve a Top-10 year-end ranking for the first time in her career.

This has been a very good season for Haddad Maia, who remains on course to beat last year’s tally of 37 match wins. She’s on 33 right now as she debuts at the Wuhan Open. It’s her third straight tournament in Asia, having won the Seoul Open last month and lost to Madison Keys in Beijing.

For Madison Keys, this has been a mixed season with a few highs and lows along the way. Finishing in the Top 20 will be of the utmost priority. Keys is currently ranked 24th in the rankings. Unlike Haddad Maia, she will be playing at the Wuhan Open for the sixth time in her career.

Keys has won one title this season, which was on the clay of Strasbourg. She has compiled a 24-11 season but has only won four matches on hard courts since the start of August.
