Beatriz Haddad Maia: The First Brazilian in the Top Ten of Women's Tennis

On Monday, player Beatriz Haddad Maia became the first Brazilian to enter the Top Ten of the WTA rankings, following her remarkable journey to the semifinals of the French Open. The 27-year-old defeated Tunisian Ons Jabeur in the quarterfinals in Paris, making her the first Brazilian in 55 years to reach the semifinals in one of the four Grand Slam tournaments. Haddad Maia will be ranked tenth as the grass court season begins, a season in which she shone last year, and she is set to participate in the Nottingham Open before the Wimbledon Championship.
