LiontipsAuger-Aliassime vs. Baez. Prediction and bets on the ATP Basel match
Command Analysis
Current form
Auger-Aliassime took part in the tournament in Antwerp last week, where he managed to reach the quarterfinals - in the first round he beat Marton Fucsovics, but then lost to Roberto Bautista Agut. Indoors this season, Felix has five wins in nine matches.
Professional qualities
Auger-Aliassime strengths lie in his powerful serve and forehand. These are the elements that allow him to seize the initiative on the court and launch devastating attacks. However, the Canadian clearly lacks a backup plan: if his serve and forehand don't work, the game falls apart.
Current indicators in the tour
Auger-Aliassime is a former world No. 6. He is currently ranked No. 19 in the world. This season, the Canadian has a positive balance of wins and losses - 33 to 24. However, he has not won a single trophy this year. In May, we recall, Felix played in the final of the clay Masters in Madrid, where he lost to Andrey Rublev.
Interesting facts for betting
Auger-Aliassime is the reigning champion of the Basel competition.
Current form
Baez played on indoor hard courts for the first time this season last week, losing to Zizou Bergs in the first round of the tournament in Antwerp.
Professional qualities
Baez is mobile and active in rallies. However, his indoor successes leave much to be desired. The Argentine playing style is best suited to clay courts, which is proven by the two trophies he won on clay this year.
Current indicators in the tour
Baez best results this season have all been on clay. It is on this surface that Sebastian has played the most matches this year and won two trophies - he won in Rio de Janeiro and Santiago. The 26th racket of the world now has six ATP trophies won in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Baez has won just three of his last ten matches.

In 3 of Auger-Aliassime last 5 matches, events on the court have unfolded according to this scenario
2.18Tip and bets
Baez does not pose a serious threat to his opponents on indoor hard courts. The Argentine game is poorly adapted to this type of surface. We believe that victory in this pair will go to Auger-Aliassime, who, let us recall, has already beaten Sebastian this season.
Our prediction is Auger-Aliassime victory with a handicap of (-5) games at odds of 1.75
Bet on total
Auger-Aliassime and Baez have already met each other this season. Their face-to-face encounter was played in the Davis Cup and ended in two sets. We expect the upcoming match between the tennis players to also be a low-scoring affair.
The second forecast is total under 20 games for odds of 1.85
Bet on the first set
Four of Baez last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games. We expect Sebastian upcoming match against Auger-Aliassime to also start with a low first set.
