Pick 7: Baez to win 1st set (1.53 Pinnacle)

It’s crazy to think during the South American clay court swing this year Sebastian Baez won not one but two titles on the ATP Tour. Fast forward just under two months and he’s on a four-match losing streak, with the last two being on clay. Despite being a Top 20 player now, there’s still a lot to be desired in the Argentine’s game where it’s almost a matter of being able to beat players ranked far lower on the surface but whilst facing those ranked above and around him, he’ll struggle. Thankfully for him, the Frenchman’s game isn’t suited for the clay. Expect Baez to grind van Assche down for a comfortable win in Madrid.
