SEBASTIAN BAEZ VS JORDAN THOMPSON PREDICTION
Sebastian Baez came through a tough first round match against Marcos Giron 6-4 5-7 7-6 and that will give the Argentine huge confidence coming into this clash with Jordan Thompson.
The clay-court specialist will be buoyed by that win on a hard court and also be the fact that he beat Thompson in their only previous meeting back in 2022 in Mallorca on grass.
Thompson is enjoying a really rich vein of form right now and the Australian showed his usual determination by beating 13th seed Ugo Humbert in three sets on Tuesday night.
Thompson has spent the month in North America since Wimbledon and has been competitive in every tournament so far. His confidence and belief is high and this should be a good opportunity for him to exact revenge over Baez. We prefer Thompson on this surface and favour the momentum he has right now.
