Beatriz Haddad Maia will battle an upset-minded Renata Zarazua in the quarterfinal round of the 2025 Sao Paulo Open on Friday.

Haddad Maia, the No.1 seed of her home tournament, is a -200 favorite over Zarazua, the player who eliminated Madison Keys in the first round of the 2025 US Open.

Current Form:

Haddad Maia faced little resistance on her way to the quarterfinal round at Sao Paulo. Haddad Maia, the highest-ranked player in this tournament at No.27, blasted Miriana Tono of Mexico 6-1 6-1 and fellow Brazilian Laura Piggosi 6-1 6-4 to reach the last 8 of a WTA tournament for only the third time this year. The Brazilian is going through a rough year on the tour, compiling a 15-24 record in 2025, including a 7-13 slate on the hard court.

Zarazua made it to the quarterfinals after topping Berfu Cengiz of Turkey in the second round 6-4 6-4. She had also defeated Luiza Fullana 6-2 6-1 in the first round. Zarazua, who made headlines in the first week of this year’s US Open after stunning reigning Australian Open champion Madison Keys 6-7(10) 7-6(3) 7-5, is 12-14 on the hard court and 23-26 overall on the tour this year.
