Amanda Anisimova enters her Round of 16 clash, having surged through the early stages of the 2025 US Open. The eighth seed kicked off her campaign with a dominant 6-3, 6-2 win over Kimberly Birrell and followed it with solid victories against Maya Joint and Jaqueline Cristian to reach the fourth round.
Beatriz Haddad Maia, the 18th seed, arrives in New York with a quieter build-up. Her standout results this season include a semifinal in Strasbourg and a quarterfinal in Bad Homburg. She had stumbled early in Monterrey but has found her stride in Flushing Meadows, defeating Sonay Kartal, Viktorija Golubic, and Maria Sakkari to earn her spot in this round.

Anisimova plays right-handed with an aggressive baseline game, highlighted by flat, penetrating groundstrokes, particularly off her backhand. Her strong hold with pace and the ability to change rhythm have driven her success, as seen during her Doha title run and recent form. Haddad Maia, on the other hand, brings a crafty, left-handed variety into play, using heavy topspin, wider angles, and strategic use of spin and pace disruption.
WTA stats show that Anisimova has recorded 145 aces and 205 double faults in 2025, hitting first serves 62.3% of the time, winning 65% of those, and about 48.7 % on second serves. Haddad Maia, on the other hand, logged 85 aces and holds a strong service games won percentage of 66.6 %, while winning 24.5 % of return games.
Considering the head-to-head patterns, overall form, and specific hard-court capabilities, Amanda Anisimova holds the edge. Her higher win-loss tally on the season, major title, finals experience (Doha, Wimbledon), and her capacity to step up under pressure favor her in tight exchanges.
Prediction: Anisimova to win in three sets
