The fatal news received by Haddad Maia after her last victory in New York

The press room welcomed Beatriz Haddad Maia a few hours ago with multiple questions about her recent victory against Wozniacki, her return to the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam, or the good moment that Brazilian sports always seem to have. The journalists did not expect to encounter such a sad response right away, one that was going to cast a shadow over the entire press conference. A tragedy that touches the Brazilian closely and tinges the entire conference with gray.

“The truth is that right now my mind is a bit disoriented, I just received the news that my physiotherapist lost his son. It's a tough moment for me, but I still find strength to be happy with my victory. The only thought I have right now is to fight until the end and try to give my all on the court for him. Tomorrow will be a new day, and there will be time to think about the rest of the tournament,” a more subdued than usual Haddad Maia stated. She will seek to regain her smile in her upcoming match against Muchova.
