Renata Zarazua represents Mexico and has already established herself as a player capable of challenging even experienced opponents. Her playing style revolves around solid defense, supported by impressive physical endurance and quick footwork. Last year, she competed in ITF and WTA events, securing several trophies on both hard and clay surfaces.
One of Renata’s standout achievements was reaching the semifinals at the Parma WTA 250 tournament, showcasing her readiness to compete at the WTA level. In early 2025, Zarazua delivered some commendable performances, including a hard-fought match against Taylor Townsend at the Australian Open. However, she still struggles with consistency, especially against aggressive opponents.
Renata’s Strengths:
Hailey Baptiste, an American player, is known for her powerful serve and attacking style. Despite her young age, she has already made a name for herself in high-profile tournaments. Last year, Baptiste performed well at Asian Masters events, confidently defeating opponents like Varvara Gracheva and Barbora Krejcikova.
Hailey’s 2025 season began with appearances in Auckland and the Australian Open. While her game showed promise, a lack of stability in her serve and rallies impacted her results. Nevertheless, her aggressive arsenal allows her to challenge nearly any competitor.
Hailey’s Strengths:
Renata Zarazua and Hailey Baptiste have faced each other twice, both matches occurring in 2021. Zarazua emerged victorious on both occasions – once on hard court and once on clay. However, since then, Baptiste has significantly improved her game, making this upcoming match more unpredictable.
This match is set to be intense and potentially lengthy, given the contrasting playing styles of the two athletes. Zarazua will rely on her defensive skills and counterattacks, while Baptiste will aim to dominate with her serve and aggressive tactics.
The match is likely to go to three sets, making a bet on total games over 22.5 (with odds of 1.95) an attractive option. However, considering Zarazua’s defensive skills and ability to adapt to her opponent, she may have the upper hand in the end.
