Tomas Machac vs Sebastian Baez prediction
Tomas Machac will hope to use the impetus of a strong performance against Jannik Sinner to make an impact in Barcelona.
The Czech went down 1-6 7-6 3-6 to the Italian after a solid run in Monte Carlo helped snap a sequence of one victory in six.
The world number 53 will now take on clay specialist Seb Baez, who has yet to ignite on the European swing.
The Argentine world number 65 is in slightly better form than Machac and will no doubt relish the conditions in Catalonia.
Their only previous encounter went the way of Tomas by a 3-6 6-3 6-2 scoreline in Monte Carlo last year and it’s a good shout to suggest this could also go the distance.
Tomas Machac vs Sebastian Baez tip: Over 2.5 sets
