Sebastian Baez is tipped to upset Grigor Dimitrov in the ATP Cincinnati event. Baez, with a solid record against Top 50 rivals and a recent final at the Auckland Open, stands as the value pick due to Dimitrov’s ongoing struggles—he’s lost seven of his last eight matches vs Top 50 players. Both men split their head-to-head meetings last season. Our expert recommendation: Baez to win, leveraging his current momentum and Dimitrov’s decline, especially in challenging weather. Baez is a strong bet to come out on top.

This will be the first match between Grigor Dimitrov and Sebastian Baez.

Baez Aiming to Bounce Back


Sebastian Baez beat Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton in January but dropped out of the Top 50 in February.

The Argentine struggled on the ATP Tour, winning the Prostejov Challenger in June before a first round exit at Wimbledon. He immediately returned to clay, reaching quarter-finals in Bastad and Kitzbuhel.

Baez got back to hard court action in Montreal, beating Mattia Bellucci before a second round exit to Zizou Bergs.

Dimitrov Drifting Outside Top 100


Grigor Dimitrov lost 11 of his opening 13 matches this year to drop out of the Top 100.

The Bulgarian went on a decent run at Wimbledon, beating Jakub Mensik and Matteo Berrettini on his way to the fourth round where he lost in 5 sets to Arthur Fery.

The 35-year-old has competed in one event since, on clay in Bastad where he lost 6-4 6-2 to Nuno Borges in the second round.

Dimitrov was given a wildcard in Cincinnati where he won the title in 2017.
