THE PREDICTION

World number 29 Sebastian Baez came back from a set down to beat J.J. Wolf on Sunday, snapping a concerning five-match losing streak when the American was forced to retire in the fourth. 23-year-old Baez should be better for dispelling the stress of that poor run and a three-set victory over Daniel Elahi Galan at Winston-Salem, on a hardcourt, last August suggests he is the solid favourite here. World number 87 Galan played well to overcome the occasion on Sunday, coming back from a set down and then 2-2 to beat home hopeful Jason Kubler 10-8 in a raucous decider. The Colombian enjoyed a surprising first foray into the second week of a major with a round of 16 exit at Wimbledon last summer and he should not be underestimated as a player who clearly enjoys the freedom of a five-set format. Back Baez to win outright with four or even five sets likelier than three.

TIP: SEBASTIAN BAEZ TO WIN
