This was the reflection of the American player in the press conference regarding the case of the Monegasque: "It shows that tennis is very mental, and the difference in level between those playing Challengers and the best in the world is not enormous. It doesn't surprise me to see him among the top 100 with great results on the tour. He has many weapons, is in great physical shape, and is a tough competitor."

Absolutely impressive start to 2026 for Sebastián Báez. The Argentine has transformed his tennis, with a renewed aggressiveness and a tremendous ability to match the ball speed of his opponents, remaining unbeaten in a streak that already takes him to the semifinals of ATP Auckland 2026.
