SEBASTIAN OFNER VS SEBASTIAN BAEZ PREDICTION

World number 20 Sebastian Baez endured a surprisingly tight opener against qualifier Gustavo Heide on Monday but he should be better for an early scare, coming through in five sets.

The 23-year-old is one of the streakier players on tour but also one of the better clay-courters around, with back-to-back titles claimed on the surface in Rio and Santiago on the South American swing bringing his trophy total on this surface up to five.

World number 45 Sebastian Baez reached the round of 16 here last summer but the Austrian has brought much poorer form into his return. The 28-year-old also needed five sets to beat French wildcard Terence Atmane, coming back from two down to prove his excellent staying power in these conditions, but Baez has the higher ceiling ahead of his first encounter. Given their openers, back Baez to earn at least two sets to leave the victor up to chance.
