Command Analysis

Sebastian Baez

Current form
Baes has already tried out the clay courts in the new season. Last week, Sebastian played at the challenger in Rosario, in which he managed to reach the semifinals - at this stage he was stopped by Hugo Dellien.
Professional qualities
Baes is a true specialist on the ground surfaces with a counter—attacking style of play. He has excellent technique and excellent footwork, which allows him to reach difficult balls and successfully launch a counterattack. His tenacity and combative nature are important advantages, and he always fights to the end for every ball. However, his short stature affects his serve, which is a weak link in his game.
Current indicators in the tour
Baez is the 31st racket of the world. During his career, the 24-year-old Argentine has won 17 trophies, six of which are in the ATP category. Last season, Sebastian won two clay tournaments in Rio de Janeiro and Santiago.
Interesting facts for betting
Baez was a quarterfinalist in the Buenos Aires competition last year.

Camilo Ugo Carabelli

Current form
Hugo Carabelli has scored seven wins in eight matches in the new season on his home turf. Last week, Camilo became the winner of the home challenger held in Rosario. He beat Hugo Dellien in the final.
Professional qualities
Hugo Carabelli is another representative of the Argentine tennis school, specializing in playing on clay. He doesn't stand out for his powerful serve, but he is known for his tenacity on the back line. Camilo knows how to keep the ball in play and adapts to hot conditions. Despite his success on clay, he has no hard court experience, which limits his options on other surfaces.
