Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Sebastian Baez from Argentina will be playing against Thiago Agustin Tirante from Argentina in their first ever tour-level meeting. They have faced each other in previous meetings in 2019 on clay courts in Buenos Aires and Santiago, with Baez winning all three matches.

Baez, who is currently 23 years old, has reached a career-high ranking of World No. 18. In 2024, he has a record of 26 wins and 17 losses, with two titles. He went on a winning streak and won back-to-back ATP Tour titles in Rio de Janeiro and Santiago, which helped him break into the Top 20 in March 2024 and achieve his career-high ranking of No. 18 in June of the same year. In 2023, he had his best year with a personal-best of 31 wins, including a 12-match winning streak. He won titles in Kitzbuhel and Winston-Salem and reached the 3rd round of a Grand Slam for the first time at the US Open.

Baez captured his first ATP Tour title at the 2022 Estoril tournament and followed it with his second title on home soil at the 2023 Cordoba tournament. He started the 2023 Cordoba tournament with six straight losses and 17 losses in his previous 18 matches. Baez also achieved milestones in his early career, breaking into the Top 300, 200, and 100 in 2021. In that same year, he had a 6-3 record in Challenger finals, tying with four other players for the second-most titles in a season. Baez was the World No. 1 junior in March 2018, reaching the Roland Garros boys’ singles final and winning the boys’ doubles gold medal at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires.

It is worth noting that Baez is the No. 1 seed at an ATP Tour event for the first time in his career. On clay courts this year, he has a record of 20 wins and 2 losses against players ranked

outside the Top 50. His only losses came against No. 136 Darderi in Cordoba and No. 106 Coria in Buenos Aires in February. Since then, he has won 15 consecutive matches against such opponents.

On the other hand, Thiago Agustin Tirante, who is also 23 years old, is currently ranked World No. 101 with a career-high ranking of No. 90 achieved in April 2024. In 2024, he has a record of 6 wins and 4 losses, reaching the semifinals at Bastad. Tirante earned his first ATP Rankings point at the age of 16 in 2017 and broke into the Top 200 in March 2022 and the Top 100 in February 2024. He made his ATP Tour debut as a wildcard at the 2021 Buenos Aires tournament and earned his first tour-level win at the 2023 Roland Garros as a qualifier.

Tirante recently had his biggest career win by defeating No. 8 Rublev at the 2024 Bastad tournament, where he reached his first ATP Tour semifinal. He has also captured Challenger titles at the 2021 Ambato, 2023 Cuernavaca, 2023 Bogota, and 2024 Mexico City tournaments. In 2019, he ended the year as the No. 1 junior player in the world, winning three titles in as many weeks at the Yucatan Cup, Eddie Herr, and Orange Bowl tournaments. He also won the 2019 Roland Garros boys’ doubles title with Pucinelli de Almeida without dropping a set.

Tirante is looking to reach his second ATP Tour quarterfinal after his performance at Bastad last week, where he lost to Borges in the semifinals. He has gained four spots in the PIF ATP Live Rankings to reach No. 97. He has a 1-1 record against players ranked in the Top 20, with his victory against top seed and No. 8 Rublev in the 2nd round of the Bastad tournament.
