What to do?
Diallo has become Diallo again after the grass season, and Baez is struggling to "finish" his seasons...
Don't be fooled by this somewhat catchy title... If Diallo has indeed become Diallo again with a forehand that sometimes lets him down and a slightly less clutch side, Baez could well surprise us all in my opinion. New haircut, new ambitions. First service game from Goffin, and I see the Argentinian making a counter-tempo surge 😮. Behind, admittedly with a slightly rusty Goffin at the moment, a masterclass of aggression follows with the desire to leave nothing to the Belgian. Perhaps this is the Baez of Winston-Salem 2023 who is returning? We already liked his match against Hanfmann in Kitbu, so it remains to be seen how the matchup will be. Already, Cinci's lower bounce reassures me because the Canadian's kick serve hurts. Then, we know that, and even more so if he maintains his current average form (or just normal, shall we say), Diallo does not like the kind of profile that counters his attacking game well and forces him to play an extra shot. Baez is not a defender strictly speaking like Arnaldi for example, he loves to attack whenever he can. But I think that this profile can also bother Diallo in the sense that it prevents the Canadian from being in control of the rally. Where the shoe pinches of course, is on the service side. Baez will not become a big server overnight. But the rest pleases me, so I will look for a bet in his direction despite this black point, hoping that Diallo is a huge favorite.
