Jesper de Jong vs Sebastian Baez prediction
Jesper de Jong progressed to the next round in Bastad after a battling victory over Vilius Gaubas. De Jong could only convert two out of 13 break points, but he still managed to win 7-6 (1) 7-5. The Dutchman has already underlined his clay court credentials this season with his fine run to the round-of-16 at Roland Garros. This included a five set victory over Karen Khachanov.
He will now face Sebastian Baez. The Argentine avoided an upset in round one as he came from a set down to beat Max Dahlin. The young Swede, who was making his tour-level debut, began well and ended up winning the first set. However, Baez regrouped to win 4-6 6-4 6-1. He did advance to the final of this tournament four years ago.
De Jong also reached the final last year, and his recent form on clay is superior to Baez. This could end up being a close match, but the Dutchman has enough quality to win
