Taylor Fritz vs Sebastian Baez Preview
Taylor Fritz will begin his 2026 campaign at the United Cup. He’s one of a handful of players to have committed in every single edition of this tournament since it was incepted in 2023. Fritz was part of the winning team in the inaugural United Cup three seasons ago and was once again pivotal in helping secure the USA’s second title last year in a thrilling final against Poland.
Fritz is coming off a decent 2025 in which he scooped two grass-court titles and made deep runs at Wimbledon (semifinal) and the US Open (quarterfinal). He was a runner-up at the ATP 500 in Tokyo and qualified for the ATP Finals for the third time in his career.
Sebastian Baez had the fortune of being one of the players to play the first match of the 2025 tennis season in Argentina’s shock win over Spain. Baez accounted for a singles win against Jaume Munar that took 20 games to decide. Baez prevailed 6-4, 6-4 in an hour and 44 minutes.
In the victory, Baez landed 65% of first serves in play and won 59% of first serve points (27/46). Baez won 60% of second serve points (15/25) and saved four of six break points in the match. This was just his fourth win on a hard court since the start of 2025.
Taylor Fritz vs Sebastian Baez Head-To-Head
Fritz and Baez have met five times at tour level and the American enjoys an unblemished 5-0 record. Fritz has not dropped a single set in all five meetings.
Taylor Fritz vs Sebastian Baez Prediction
The odds are stacked against Baez in this one. I expect Fritz to control the match from start to finish. He’s got a perfect record against Baez and on quicker courts, his game is built to take time away from opponents. Baez has little chance of getting himself into neutral rallies if Fritz can have a great serving performance. I’m looking at the games spread here with Fritz extending his 100% winning record against the World No. 45.
