THE PREDICTION

World number 139 Nicolas Jarry broke the top 40 on tour back in 2019 and the Chilean is playing like he could do again right now. The 27-year-old stunned Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets on Tuesday and he did the same to Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round of the Australian Open last month. Jarry can break back inside the top 100 on tour with another upset here over recent Cordoba champion Sebastian Baez but the Argentine remains the slight favourite in this first meeting between the two. World number 35 Baez overcame in-form Juan Pablo Varillas in straight sets on Thursday to make it six wins from seven since returning to the clay and something has to give here with both players yet to concede a set in Rio. Backing Baez to earn at least one of them as the sixth seed seems the sensible move but there is more than a scent of an upset here.
