Sebastian Baez vs Vilius Gaubas prediction
Sebastian Baez struggled during the second half of 2025, but his results have massively improved during the first three months of 2026. He began the year by winning all of his matches at the United Cup, and making the final of the Auckland Open. The South American clay court swing saw him make the semi-finals in Buenos Aires and Santiago, while he also reached the third-round at Indian Wells after an impressive win in round two over Jiri Lehecka. Baez will be seen as one of the favourites for the title in Bucharest, having reached the final last year.
He takes on Vilius Gaubas in the first-round. Gaubas has shown how effective he can be on clay at times, making the quarter-finals in Santiago last month despite having to qualify for the tournament. The 21-year-old is close to breaking into the top 100 of the world rankings for the first time.
Baez will be viewed as the clear favourite to win this match and make it through to the next round of the tournament.
