Two seeded players meet in the last eight of the indoor hard court Ningbo Open. Sixth seed Beatriz Haddad Maia take on the eighth-seeded Paula Badosa for a place in the last four. Here's our match prediction.
Maia is up to ninth in the live rankings after her 7-6 7-5 win over Katie Boulter in round two of this tournament. The Brazilian is only 15th in the WTA Live Race so unlikely to make it into the end-of-season Tour Finals.
August and September were big months for her with one hard court final reached, a US Open quarter-final appearance and winning the Korea Open. Her last two tournaments have seen her fail to get past the last 16. This is her third match against Paula Badosa. The other two were both played in 2023 and shared. There were tie-breaks and a 7-5 set played in those two matches.
Paula Badosa is up to 14th in the live rankings after reaching this third round. The Spaniard is playing in her fourth successive hard court quarter-final. Her most recent tournament saw her get to the last four of the China Open, losing to Coco Gauff in three sets.
The 26-year-old also had a good August with a hard court title win in Washington when only 62nd in the rankings. In Ningbo, Badosa has beaten Diana Shnaider and Wang Xiyu but needed three sets in both after losing the first.
We go for over 19.5 games to be played in this match.
