Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Heather Watson, Acapulco R1 Prediction

Abierto Mexicano TELCEL, ??? Acapulco R1 Prediction
?? Beatriz Haddad Maia vs ?? Heather Watson

This should be a close match between two seemingly evenly matched players, both bringing similar form into this event. I’m going to give the slight edge to Watson. This will be the first match-up between the pair, I think the consistent baseline game of Watson will eventually get the better of Haddad Maia. The Brazilian has a powerful game and good touch but her movement and stamina can be exposed, she is also more suited to a clay court. I think Watson’s counter-punching will frustrate Haddad Maia, the hard court surface in Acapulco also favours Watson in this match-up. Expect Watson to win a close match.

Prediction: Heather Watson to defeat Beatriz Haddad Maia in 3 sets
