WTA Sao Paulo Day 2 Predictions Including Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Miriana Tona
Beatriz Haddad Maia is the main star of the 2025 WTA Sao Paulo Open and as the top seed on home soil, the pressure is on her to try to claim the title. The Brazilian faces qualifier Miriana Tona as the remaining eight first-round matches are set to be completed on Tuesday. Who do you think will prevail?
WTA Sao Paulo Day 2 Predictions
Francesca Jones vs Lina Glushko
Head-to-head: First meeting
Francesca Jones has been on fire in the last few months, winning the WTA 125 in Contrexeville, WTA 250 in Palermo, and qualifying for the US Open. It’s led her to a Top 100 debut and in a draw like Sao Paulo, she should be a factor. Last week in Guadalajara, she also produced a solid run with a quarterfinal exit to Panna Udvardy. It just seems like right now she’s at a level where you can expect wins against lower-ranked opponents from her consistently, especially with Lina Glushko struggling to get anything going this year.
Prediction: Jones in 2
Valeriya Strakhova vs Ana Candiotto
Head-to-head: Strakhova 3-0
Ana Candiotto is getting a major opportunity here, debuting on the WTA Tour despite never being ranked inside the Top 500. She also played doubles with Beatriz Haddad Maia, who must be a major inspiration for any Brazilian up-and-comer. A cinderella run from someone like her could really put this event in Sao Paulo on the tennis map this week. But it’s going to be difficult to get it and while Valeriya Strakhova never broke through, she’s been around the ITF circuit forever.
Prediction: Strakhova in 2
Jazmin Ortenzi vs Berfu Cengiz
Head-to-head: First meeting
