Our favourite Sebastian Baez vs J.J. Wolf predictions
Contents
J.J. Wolf is considered the favourite in this match even though Baez is ranked much higher.
Sebastian Baez +3.5 @ 4/5 (1.80)
It is pretty unusual to see a lower-ranked player to be a major favourite against a higher-ranked one, but the surface here makes a difference. Wolf serves much better than Baez but that does not mean that the Argentinian has nothing to offer. Baez moves excellent on any court and even though his serve does not give him the advantage it usually goes with it, Baez will be competitive in this match and manage to cover the +3.5 games spread.
First set over 9.5 games @ 17/20 (1.85)
This is a match between players with completely different playing styles and the match can easily go either way. They will take some time to adapt on the court and see what the opponent will bring on the table so the opening set will start with both of them holding the serve which will lead the set to over 9.5 games in total.
