Zverev vs Baez: prediction for the Roland Garros match
Alexander Zverev and Sebastian Baez will play each other in the 2nd round of the French Open on May, 25. Who will progress to the next round? Here's our prediction.

Command Analysis

Alexander Zverev

Alexander Zverev is yet to win a tournament in 2022. This is an utterly disappointing result for the World №3. The German will strive to make a deep run at the current Major, but we are not convinced he will deliver good results.Zverev and Baez have recently met at the tournament in Rome; then Zverev won in two sets (7:6, 6:3). In the first round of the French Open, the German athlete confidently defeated Sebastian Offner (6:4, 6:4, 6:2).

Sebastian Baez

Sebastian Baez is demonstrating his best tennis in the current season. The Argentine has won the tournament in Estoril ans delivered solid results at other competitions. Such performance allowed him to rise to the 36th line in the ATP ranking. In his first match at the French Open, Baez took on Dusan Lajovic and defeated his opponent in four sets (6:3, 3:6, 6:4, 6:3).

Tip and bets
The Argentine put up a fierce fight against Zverev in Rome, and we believe he will do so at Roland Garros, too. Baez is usually very confident on clay courts, so we think this will be a long fight. Take the over.
Our prediction — total over 32.5 games
Zverev beat Offner with a total margin of eight games. Baez is a stronger tennis player than Offner, so we think he will be able to maintain the handicap of 7.5 games.
