If I Baez? Affirmative...
It's hard to follow this Baez on European soil. The guy can put 2 sets on almost everyone like shit himself and lose in the first round...
Knowing that on Lajovic's side it's a bit the same, we'll quickly move on to this match I feel! The Serbian is first in Monte-Carlo and Madrid, and 1/2 in Barcelona. In Rome, he is off to a good start, beating the friendly local Sonego. Lajovic loves this kind of atmosphere, and he came out on top by dominating the Italian despite the conditions being a little difficult for him given that the match was played from 10:40 p.m. on ground very heavy with rain. Sonego is not at his best and he is currently working on his backhand, but it had to be done anyway. The Argentinian Baez is stronger from his baseline. I don't have the match schedule yet, but I can sense a short annex in the afternoon in the middle of the day. Totally different conditions therefore. The Serbian will get some extra free points with his attacking game on faster ground. But once again, a lot will depend on Baez's level. The guy clearly doesn't have confidence. It's been 3 matches that he serves for victory and is in trouble. Since his tour in South America, his results have been very disappointing. We know that the Argentinian travels poorly, and he has his periods during the season. I'm not saying that he's going to sell out the match, I'm saying that he won't play with all his crazy grinta that we know from him...
