The third round of the ATP 1000 in Rome has 8 matches to be disputed next Monday, May 13th, and one of the most attractive is the confrontation between Sebastian Baez and Holger Rune, players that will face not before 08:00 am Central Time knowing that this tournament is a great opportunity for them to try to recover their best performance just before Roland Garros.
First of all, when looking at Sebastian Baez’s performance, the Argentinian has disappointed after winning only 2 out of 5 disputed matches over clay, being predictable that he has been really far from competing in final instances. In addition, he had a difficult start on Rome after defeating Dusan Lajovic (7-6, 7-6), so there aren’t big expectations set on him.
On Holger Rune’s side he’s still so far from the best shape of his career and it has been notorious during the clay season as he hasn’t been able to compete on the most important tournaments such as in Montecarlo or Madrid, so Rome is his last opportunity to bright before Roland Garros. In this regard, he had a solid debut after defeating Luca Nardi in two straight sets (4-6, 4-6), but he committed 18 unforced errors during the match.
