Beatriz Haddad Maia became the first Brazilian woman in 55 years to reach the quarter-finals at a Grand Slam when she beat Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo 6-7(3) 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 quarter-finals at a major in 1968, although Haddad Maia says she still cannot compare with the great "dancing tennis player".
"I'm very proud to represent Brazil. But for sure I don't compare myself with her, because for me, she's on another level, like Guga ." "He's an inspiration for me, but as Maria Esther Bueno, I don't compare myself with them, because for me, they are on another level."
