Sebastian Baez vs Nicolai Budkov Kjaer prediction

Sebastian Baez is currently on a seven match losing streak and will hope his fortunes improve at the Swedish Open this week. He last competed at Wimbledon but withdrew against Jack Draper in the first-round after heavily losing the first two sets. Baez is without a win since the first-round of the Barcelona Open in the middle of April. He is still a strong clay court player when he is in form, evidenced by his title in Rio at the end of February.

Nicolai Budkov Kjaer will be his opponent after the young Norwegian defeated Thiago Monteiro in three sets. This was a first win on the ATP Tour for the 18-year-old. 

Baez has struggled for a victory for a chunk of the season at this point but he will be a clear favourite against such an inexperienced player in Kjaer. This should be the moment the Argentinian finally snaps his losing run.

Sebastian Baez vs Nicolai Budkov Kjaer tip: Sebastian Baez to win 2-0
