Petra Kvitova vs Beatriz Haddad Maia Prediction 6/9/25 Queen’s Tennis Picks

Petra Kvitova and Beatriz Haddad Maia meet in the first round of the HSBC Championships at London’s Queen’s Club. The match is scheduled for Monday, June 9. Here’s our Petra Kvitova vs Beatriz Haddad Maia prediction. This preview will also include a Petra Kvitova vs Beatriz Haddad Maia pick.

Petra Kvitova Preview

Petra Kvitova will use a special ranking to access the Queen’s main draw as she starts her preparations for Wimbledon. Kvitova is one of the best grass-court players in history, winning two Wimbledon titles at the peak of her game over a decade ago. The 35-year-old is playing in her first season since giving birth. 

Kvitova has competed in six tournaments this season, mostly as a wild card entrant. She has picked up one win, and that was in Rome when she beat Irina Camelia Begu in straight sets before withdrawing from the tournament due to injury. The Czech was fit to play at the French Open, where she lost in the first round to Viktorija Golubic in three sets. Kvitova’s last WTA title was on grass in Berlin two years ago, but right now, her ambitions are slightly more tailored to take one match at a time.

Beatriz Haddad Maia Preview

Beatriz Haddad Maia is coming off a shock first-round defeat at the French Open to Hailey Baptiste. It was one of five defeats she suffered on clay in a largely unproductive spell. Haddad Maia didn’t experience a massive ranking damage, but she will need to defend so many points in the second half of the season. Her spot in the Top 50 could be in serious jeopardy if she endures an inconsistent run of results.

The Brazilian won just six matches in the first five months of the season, winning her matches in just two tournaments. Grass is not her best surface, although she has been to the second week of Wimbledon once in her career. Last year, Haddad Maia posted a 3-3 record on grass, winning once in two warm-up tournaments before Wimbledon.

Petra Kvitova vs Beatriz Haddad Maia Head-To-Head

Kvitova and Haddad Maia have met twice on the WTA Tour. The head-to-head is tied at 1-1. Both meetings took place on grass. Haddad Maia won a straight sets match at the 2022 Birmingham, and Kvitova won with the same result in Nottingham just a week later.

Petra Kvitova vs Beatriz Haddad Maia Prediction

Kvitova and Haddad Maia are two lefties who play attacking tennis, and that tends to favor them on grass, where rallies are normally short. On grass, I will always trust Kvitova, but she has given me some reasons not to this season. She’s coming off a maternity break, and her movement isn’t there yet. While she’s not necessarily the best mover out there, you can’t help but notice that her stamina is lacking, which partially explains why she’s lost a trio of three-setters since her anticipated return. I’m taking a stab at Haddad Maia here, but Kvitova can be dangerous if she shortens points.
