THE PREDICTION

World number 35 Sebastian Baez won his second ATP title at the Cordoba Open last month but he has still struggled to find his peak on clay, with his run in Cordoba one of the kinder draws you will see this season. The 22-year-old is no doubt a talented threat on this surface but it will be interesting to see how former top 20 Cristian Garin reacts to a straight-sets victory over Dominic Thiem on Tuesday. Current world number 100 Garin has been ailing badly on tour for some time, with last summer’s run to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon looking ever-more random, but beating Thiem at any moment is a big confidence-boosting result. Baez came back from a set down to beat the Chilean at last season’s Cordoba Open and three sets seen likely again here. Back Baez to edge this outright or take the riskier but probably shrewder option in backing Garin to earn at least a set.
