Sebastian Baez vs Stan Wawrinka prediction
Sebastian Baez suffered a surprising second-round defeat to Titouan Drouget at the Tiriac Open. The Argentine reached the final of the event last year, but he fell to a 6-4 6-4 loss. The Argentine’s other results on clay this season have been more encouraging, as he reached the semi-finals in Buenos Aires and Santiago.
He takes on Stan Wawrinka, who was handed a wildcard for this event. He will be competing in his final Monte-Carlo Masters, having won the tournament in 2014. That stands as Wawrinka’s only title win at a Masters 1000. He last competed at a Challenger event in Naples, but he lost in the first-round to Matteo Martineau.
Baez leads the head-to-head 1-0 after defeating Wawrinka earlier this year at the United Cup. The 41-year-old will be incredibly motivated for this one, knowing world number one Carlos Alcaraz awaits in the next round. However, Baez is an effective clay courter and starts as the firm favourite.
