Baez clinches victory for Argentina

Spoiler:

Argentina clawed their way back from the brink of a shock defeat against Kazakhstan to seal a memorable win on Sunday in their Davis Cup Qualifier.

After two days of high drama and surprising results in Rosario, the visitors found themselves holding two match points as they appeared to be ready to pull off a major shock against a powerful Argentina side.

In a deciding match between World No. 25 Sebastian Baez and World No. 338 Dmitry Popko, the Kazakhstani team marshalled by captain Yuri Schukin took a 6/4 lead in the final-set tie-break. But Baez battled back and won four straight points to spark euphoric celebrations, notching a 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(8) victory to extend Argentina's winning run in home Davis Cup ties to six.

"This weekend was amazing and not just for me," said Baez. "It was special to be with the guys in the team, my people and my family. I'm happy to take Argentina to the Davis Cup Finals in September."

2) Can defending champion Baez build on Australian Open run?: Sebastian Baez enjoyed a run to the third round in Melbourne before eventual champion Jannik Sinner stopped him. The 23-year-old is the defending champion in Cordoba, having beaten Federico Coria in three sets in last year’s final.

Sebastian Baez defeats Hugo Dellien in the Cordoba Open second round.
By ATP Staff
As the sun finally came out Friday at the Cordoba Open, so too did Sebastian Baez's level heat up at the ATP 250 event. Aiming to defend his title, the Argentine scored two wins to return to the semi-finals.

A first-round bye and rain on Thursday meant that the second seed Baez would not play his first match of the week until Friday, perhaps explaining the 23-year-old's slow start but strong finish to rally past Bolivia's Hugo Dellien 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 after two hours, 15 minutes.

"It's hard, but it's something I can manage," Baez said of starting his title quest on the fifth day of the tournament. "The rain, the weather is like this. I'm happy to take this match because it was so close and I'm happy to be in the next round."


For the second consecutive year, Dellien fell to Baez in Cordoba, where he lost to the eventual champion in the semi-finals last year. Dellien, 30, was competing in his first tournament since his wife gave birth to twin girls last month.

Baez returned to court Friday evening for a first-time Lexus ATPHead2Head meeting with countryman Facundo Diaz Acosta, who already spent nearly three hours on court earlier in the day to defeat Thiago Agustin Tirante 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-2. Baez was sharper in his second appearance and ran away with a 6-3, 6-1 victory to close the day's play.

"I felt better on the second one," he said post-match. "Of course the first round of the tournament always is difficult. But I'm happy to go from down to up."

Baez's semi-final opponent will be Argentine-born Italian Luciano Darderi, a qualifier who beat seventh seed Yannick Hanfmann 7-6(2), 6-1 in his first tour-level quarter-final. Darderi was the only man to record a win on Thursday before rain halted play in Cordoba.

The opposite semi-final will be an all-Argentine affair between unseeded opponents Federico Coria and Facundo Bagnis.

Baez breezes through Buenos Aires opener

Spoiler:

Sebastian Baez atoned for an early exit last season at his home tournament with a dominant opening win on Tuesday at the IEB+ Argentina Open. In his native Buenos Aires, the fifth seed cruised past Bernabe Zapata Miralles 6-3, 6-3 to advance at the ATP 250.

The victory improved Baez to 5-1 in opening-round matches played in Argentina and 10-1 in his past 11 clay-court matches. The 23-year-old won 86 per cent of his first-serve points according to Infosys ATP Stats and was broken just once in a swift 72-minute victory.

"I'm happy to take the match here in my home with my people, my family, my friends," he said post-match. "I'm happy to be in the next round and I have the chance to do better than the past week, and with the same opponent. So it will be a good chance."

Baez will next meet Luciano Darderi in the second round, less than a week after the Argentine-born Italian beat him in the Cordoba semi-finals en route to his maiden ATP Tour title. Darderi stretched his tour-level winning streak to six matches by beating home hope Mariano Navone 6-2, 6-1 on Tuesday without losing serve.
