Overview

• The Brazilian announced her decision on Instagram on the same day the WTA rankings listed her at No. 40, her lowest mark since 2022.
• She will skip the late-season Asian swing, including WTA 1000 events in Beijing and Wuhan.
• Her 2025 campaign featured no finals, with a Strasbourg semi-final, two other quarterfinals, and a fourth round at the US Open.
• She exited the Korean Open in the second round to Germany’s Ella Seidel while defending her title.
• Haddad Maia remains Brazil’s highest-ranked woman and the only Brazilian inside the top 150, with the pause leaving her at risk of a year-end finish outside the top 50.
