THE PREDICTION

Estoril top seed Casper Ruud came back from a set down to beat home hopeful Joao Sousa on Wednesday but his first match on clay this season was far from convincing. The world number five is clearly struggling with confidence on court, and perhaps mental fatigue after his remarkable 2022 season, and this looks a really tough draw against the defending champion so early on. World number 32 Sebastian Baez claimed his maiden ATP title here last season and he made it two with an excellent campaign on home soil in Cordoba back in January. The 22-year-old has the benefit of two wins behind him without dropping a set this week and considering how many sets Ruud has dropped this season backing the Argentine to earn at least one looks the suitable way to avoid picking an outright winner here. However, if pushed for a decision Baez should edge this on momentum.
