Jenson Brooksby vs Sebastian Baez prediction
Jenson Brooksby’s poor season continued in Madrid as he was beaten in the first-round by Emilio Nava in straight sets. That extended his losing run to four matches, and he has just four wins from 13 matches in 2026. His ranking has dropped to 63 in the world.
He takes on Sebastian Baez in the first-round of the Italian Open. Baez began the season strongly, with a run to the final of the Auckland Open. He also showed some promising form during the South American clay court swing, progressing to the semi-final of events in Buenos Aires and Santiago. However, his form has dropped off considerably over the past six weeks, with six defeats from his last eight matches overall.
Baez leads the head-to-head 1-0 after a win over Brooksby in Auckland at the start of the year, but this will be their first meeting on clay. He has not been close to his best recently, but the Argentine is more proven on this surface.
Jenson Brooksby vs Sebastian Baez tip: Under 22.5 games
