Claire Liu looks to extend her winning streak to six matches when she battles fellow American Mary Stoiana in the first round of the 2026 São Paulo Open.
Liu, who has just captured a title last weekend in Barranquilla, offers an enticing price of +160 to win in straight sets over Stoiana.
Current Form:
Mary Stoiana has gone 1-2 in her last 3 matches. After showing some promise in her first-round loss to Alexandra Eala, 6-1, 6-2, at the US Open, Stoiana bombed out in the second round of the 2026 KIA Open in Barranquilla. Stoiana defeated Jazmin Ortenzi, 6-3, 6-2, in the first round but lost to Julia Riera, 6-4, 6-7, 3-6, in the next round.
Claire Liu captured a WTA 125 event in Barranquilla, Colombia. The American racked up five consecutive victories, including a 6-0, 2-6, 7-5 win over Anna Blinkova in the final.
The Matchup: Stoiana and Liu will play against each other for the first time on the WTA Tour.
