Beatriz Haddad Maia faces Dayeon Back in the first round of the WTA Korea Open 2025. This match pits the experienced Brazilian against a local wild card, setting the stage for an intriguing contest.
Beatriz Haddad Maia, the sixth seed, enters the Korea Open with a mix of highs and lows this season. While she reached the semifinals in Strasbourg and quarterfinals in Bad Homburg, she's also faced early exits. Her US Open run ended in the fourth round. Her strengths include a powerful serve (97 aces in 38 matches) and a solid break point conversion rate (41.4%). She has also excelled in doubles, winning the Nottingham title.
Dayeon Back, a local wild card, is making her fourth appearance at the Korea Open. The 23-year-old has a solid ITF Circuit resume with nine singles and nine doubles titles. This tournament marks her first WTA main-draw test of the season.
While Back will have the home crowd's support, Haddad Maia's experience and power should give her the edge. Betting odds reflect this, with Haddad Maia heavily favored to win in straight sets.
Haddad Maia is listed at -800, while Back is at +550 (via FanDuel&ref=yanuki.com).
