Sebastian Baez vs Mattia Bellucci prediction
Sebastian Baez switches to hardcourt from his beloved clay for the first time since March.
It’s no secret the Argentine is a specialist on the dirt but he did make a final on hard in Auckland at the start of the year.
First up in Canada, the world number 53 takes on Mattia Bellucci, who is perhaps more adept in these conditions but does sit at 81 in the rankings and is nowhere near Baez in terms of match-wins this year (21 versus eight).
Seb is always difficult predict away from the clay but he looks far sharper than in 2025 and he’s in better form at present.
