“Haddad Maia – Người phụ nữ Brazil đầu tiên lọt vào vòng 16 French Open sau 44 năm”

Beatriz Haddad Maia has made history by becoming the first Brazilian woman in 44 years to reach the Round of 16 at the French Open. She secured her victory over Ekaterina Alexandrova with a score of 5-7 6-4 7-5 on Saturday. Haddad Maia, who was the 14th seed, received overwhelming support from the crowd as she emulated Patricia Medrado’s achievement in 1978 and 1979. “There are so many Brazilians here, and I am very happy and grateful for the support. It’s very special to represent all of you,” she said. Haddad Maia, who is 27 years old, broke into the Top 20 last year after winning titles on grass at Nottingham and Birmingham and reaching her first WTA 1000 final in Toronto. She will face Spain’s Sara Sorribes Tormo in the fourth round on Monday.
