Fourteenth seed Beatriz Haddad Maia and world number 132 Sara Sorribes Tormo will on Monday face off at the French Open. Tormo had a belated start to the season after a six-month hiatus. This absence saw her drop out of the top 100. As a result, she arrived in Paris ranked 132nd in the WTA. Advancing to the fourth round for the first time here has her up 51 places to 81st in the live ranking. Tormo, playing with a protected ranking, was handed a walkover in the previous round by third seed Elena Rybakina. In the two matches she has played, she is yet to drop a set. Tormo has a record of 11 wins and five losses with all matches played on clay. She has claimed victory twice against Maia in their four encounters to date and has one win on clay.

Despite Beatriz Haddad Maia also advancing to this round for the first time, she has lost 50 ranking points. She will be keen to earn them back with a win on Monday that will move her up one place to 13th in the live ranking. The Brazilian has also defeated Tormo on clay in their past meetings. Going by how she has performed on the surface this season, she will fancy another win. Maia has had a rocky campaign so far with 19 wins and 10 losses. She has looked more composed on clay, where she has eight wins from 11 matches. Her latest success saw her come from behind to subdue 23rd seed, Ekaterina Alexandrova.
