Press Conference

B. HADDAD MAIA/E. Andreeva

6-2, 6-3

THE MODERATOR: Bea, a little bit more of a straightforward win today. Your thoughts on your performance.

BEATRIZ HADDAD MAIA: Well, today I think I did a good job. I could improve from my first round to the second one. I served better, I could return better, which makes a big difference in my game.

Yeah, I'm satisfied with my work and excited for what is coming.

THE MODERATOR: We don't know who you play next, either Katie Boulter or Veronika Kudermetova. Your thoughts on either of those, or are you going to be watching that match?

BEATRIZ HADDAD MAIA: Yeah, luckily I will have a few minutes to watch. They're going to play now.

I will try to study a little bit. But I think the most important is to take care of my things, take care of my body, and go step by step.

We still have one more day to work. So I want to improve the things that didn't work today. It doesn't matter who I will play. I will try to, yeah, think about me. I already played both of them, so for sure is going to be a tough match. It's a Grand Slam, third round. Yeah, I'm excited.
