After a successful clay game, Baez returns to the hard court, where he has not won a single victory this season. Will Sebastian be able to overcome the first lap in Indian Wells? - the bets for this match are in our betting tip

Command Analysis

Matteo Gigante

Current form
Gigante made his way to the main draw of the Indian Wells competition through qualifying. The Italian was flawless in the selection - he first beat Mitchell Krueger in two sets, and then also dealt with Botik Van de Sandschulp in two games. Matteo has six wins and two losses on the open hard this season.
Professional qualities
Gigante, like many lefties, is especially effective when serving into the second square. Overall, this element is at a high level for the Italian and earns him a lot of easy points. In addition, Matteo stands out with a powerful forehand and good speed on the court. However, his performance at the reception leaves much to be desired.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season, Gigante added two titles to his trophy collection - he won the challengers held in Nonthaburi and Tenerife. The 23-year-old Italian is currently ranked 217th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
The last four matches involving Gigante ended in two sets.

Sebastian Baez

Current form
Last week, Baez took part in a clay tournament that took place in Santiago. As part of those competitions, Laszlo managed to reach the finals, where he lost to Laszlo Gyera. Sebastian has two defeats this season on the open hard court and has yet to win a single one.
Professional qualities
Baez is famous for his fighting qualities. Perseverance and character allow him to perform stably on the ground. He moves well, so he manages to catch difficult balls. The Argentine's most reliable shot is a forehand with a pronounced topspin. The weak point remains the pitch, as Sebastian himself is short (170 cm).
Current indicators in the tour
This season, Baez can already boast of winning one tournament. In mid-February, Sebastian won the title at a competition in Rio de Janeiro. For him, it was the seventh ATP trophy of his career. The Argentine is currently ranked 34th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Baez reached the third round at Indian Wells last season.

2.28Tip and bets
The advantage in class is probably in this pair for Baez. However, Sebastian does not feel at his best on the open hard court, where he has not won a single victory so far this season. We believe that Gigante, who successfully qualified for Indian Wells, will have a chance to beat the Argentine.
