Haddad Maia proud to make history for Brazil

China Daily  

Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia reacts to her victory over Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo at Roland Garros on Monday. AFP Beatriz Haddad Maia became the first Brazilian woman in 55 years to reach the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam when she beat Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo 6-7, 6-3, 7-5 at the French Open on Monday. Maria Bueno, who won seven singles titles at the Slams, was the last Brazilian woman to reach the quarterfinals at a major in 1968, although Haddad Maia says she still cannot compare with the great "dancing tennis player". I think she's a very powerful woman," Haddad Maia, the No 14 seed, told a news conference after winning the longest women's singles match at this year's tournament.
