Baez maybe?

Can Baez be the Lajovic of Cincinnati and beat Sinner after his Beijing win? 👇

We left Baez on an excellent level on the American tour. He had returned after a week of vacation at home in Argentina, then won Winston-Salem as his 2nd ATP250 in a row, just after winning Kitzbuhel. The importance of close friends for a Latino is key. In Asia, I believe that they underperform. Surely linked to the surface, but also to the distance and the time difference. I don't know if that's why, but in any case, Sebastian Baez plays less fire than in the United States. The problem is that even with a tired Sinner, his game is perfect for the Italian who loves to play in rhythm and exploit slightly weak second serves. He can clutch on a set, and there is always uncertainty about the physical level of the Italian so this match stinks. I think that Sinner is now launched and that the Baez challenge is not big enough to make him falter. So I won't be offering any bets here...
