Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Camila Osorio prediction
Osorio's win over Garcia was just her second over a top 10 player. The 21-year old is having quite the dream run in Rome. She has now reached the fourth round of A WTA 1000 event for the first time in her career.
It doesn't get any easier for Osorio from here on out. Haddad Maia is way too consistent from the baseline and unlike her previous opponents, isn't going to give away points with cheap errors. The Brazilian possesses a pretty decent serve to boot.
Osorio's tenacity has always been a strong point of hers. She's not afraid to switch up her tactics and fights until the very end. Based on their previous results, Haddad Maia will be favored to come out on top, but it would be foolish to write off the young Colombian completely.
Pick: Beatriz Haddad Maia to win in three sets.
