It would be crazy of us to jump off Baez after he has delivered as the outsider in every match this week!!! The Argentine improved to 7-0 for the season following his brilliant run at the United Cup and he continues to return serve at an extremely high level. He has 6 breaks of serve in wins over Brooksby and Shelton with 4 in his most recent win over Giron. Mensik will consistently thunder down first serves above 220 km/h but he did drop serve three times in his win over Marozsan and that opens the door for Baez. The court coverage of Baez has been elite and that could lead to frustration on the other side of the court if Mensik begins to press resulting in more unforced errors. Really like Baez with the start and he is a great bet yet again for the upset win. Those looking to go early can double Baez with the start in this match into Baez to beat Mpetshi Perricard in their opening round clash at the Australian Open in a couple of days.
