Vit Kopriva vs Sebastian Baez prediction

Vit Kopriva made it three successive wins, including qualifying, at the Italian Open as he defeated Quentin Halys 6-4 6-3 to advance through to the second-round. The result was never really in doubt for the Czech, who was strong on his first serve, winning 79% of those points and only gave up two break points during the entire match. He is now up to 85 in the live ATP rankings which is the highest he’s reached in his career so far.

He now takes on Sebastian Baez who suffered a disappointing first-round loss in Madrid last time out against Damir Dzumhur. The Argentinian has not been able to maintain the level which saw him reach the final of the Bucharest Open at the start of April and win the Rio Open during the South American clay court swing in February.

Baez has the stronger all-round game on clay and should be able to battle his way through against Kopriva though it may take him three sets to come out on top.
