Sebastian Baez vs Marton Fucsovics Prediction
The top seed and the defending champion square off here, and you couldn't have picked a high-quality semifinal in Bucharest. Baez opens as the pre-match faoirte at -166, and we agree with the odds. Fuscovics is no slouch on this surface and is a player capable of pummeling winners at will when his game is clicking. However, it would take an extraordinary performance to beat Baez, who is one of the most complete players on clay. The overs should easily hit, but I'm backing Baez outright.
