Swiatek vs Haddad Maia Prediction & Pick

While Swiatek is the clear-cut favorite here, it's important to note that she lost to Haddad Maia in their only other clash. Having said that, Haddad Maia's victory came on a card court at the 2022 National Bank Open. Defeating Swiatek on clay won't be as easy considering that she's an impressive 53-6 (89.8%) since 2020.

Haddad Maia has had some impressive performances thus far, but I see her run ending. Swiatek is 23-1 in her last 24 French Open matchups and hasn't lost a set at Roland Garros since the fourth round of the 2022 tournament. Unless Swiatek completely forgets how to play tennis, I fully expect to see her back in the championship round.

Winner: Iga Swiatek

Swiatek vs Haddad Maia Best Bet

As for the best bet, I'm taking the first set to have the most games at +110 odds. After all, that's been the case in each of Swiatek's first five matchups at the 2023 French Open. Her opponents tend to tire out as the matchup goes on due to how good she is on clay, resulting in fewer games in the second set. I don't see that trend changing, regardless of how fun Haddad Maia's unexpected run has been.

Bet: First Set to Have the Most Games (+110)
