Baez and Cobolli are on the Day 7 Schedule at Tiriac Open Presented By Unicredit Bank 2025 on Sunday 6 April 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Sebastian Baez (ARG) and Flavio Cobolli (ITA) will be facing each other for the first time in their careers. Baez, who is 24 years old, is currently ranked No. 36 in the world, with a career-high ranking of No. 18. In 2025, he has a 12-6 record and won the title in Rio de Janeiro. In the Bucharest tournament, he has a 3-0 record and reached the final in 2025.
Baez’s breakthrough came in March 2024 when he won back-to-back ATP Tour titles in Rio de Janeiro and Santiago, allowing him to enter the world’s top 20. He reached his career-high ranking of No. 18 in June 2024. In the 2023 season, he had a remarkable 12-match winning streak and reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time at the US Open. He also won his first ATP Tour title in Estoril in 2022 and his second title in his home country of Cordoba in 2023 after a streak of losses. Baez has steadily climbed up the rankings, breaking into the top 300, 200, and 100 in 2021. He has been successful in Challenger finals, earning the second-most titles in a season in 2021.
In his junior career, Baez became the World No. 1 junior in March 2018. He reached the boys’ singles final at Roland Garros and won the boys’ doubles gold medal at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, alongside Diaz Acosta.
Baez is aiming for his 8th ATP Tour title, his 7th on clay, and his 2nd title of 2025, following his victory in Rio de Janeiro. He currently leads the ATP Tour with the most clay wins this season, with a 12-2 record. If he wins the Bucharest title, he will join Auger-Aliassime as the player with the most ATP Tour titles in 2025. Moreover, he would become the fourth Argentine champion in the history of the event, following Davin in 1994, Acasuso in 2004, and Chela in 2010.
In terms of clay court win leaders since the start of the 2022 season, Baez is ranked No. 1, with a record of 79-37 and 6 titles. He is followed by Casper Ruud and Carlos Alcaraz.
Moving on to Flavio Cobolli, the 22-year-old Italian is currently ranked No. 45 in the world, with a career-high ranking of No. 30. In 2025, he has a 5-8 record and reached the final in Bucharest. Cobolli broke into the top 200 in January 2022 and the top 100 in October 2023. His career-high ranking of No. 30 was achieved in September 2024, shortly after reaching his first ATP Tour final in Washington.
Cobolli’s biggest wins came against American players, defeating Shelton (No. 15) to reach his first ATP Tour semifinal in Geneva, and defeating Shelton again (No. 14) to reach his first final in Washington. He also defeated Paul (No. 13) in the 2024 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati first round. In 2024, Cobolli reached the third round of the Australian Open and the US Open.

In his ATP Tour main draw debut in 2021, Cobolli saved three match points against Giron to win in three sets. In his junior career, he reached a ranking of No. 8 and won the 2020 Roland Garros boys’ doubles title with Stricker.
Cobolli is aiming to capture his first ATP Tour title in his second final, after losing to Korda in Washington in 2024. He hopes to become the first Italian to win the Bucharest tournament, as previous Italian players Gaudenzi, Volandri, and Fognini all lost in the finals. Sinner, who won the Australian Open, and Darderi, who reached the Marrakech final, are the only Italian men to have won ATP Tour titles this season.
Moving on to the doubles final, Marcel Granollers (ESP) and Horacio Zeballos (ARG), ranked No. 1, will be facing Jakob Schnaitter (GER) and Mark Wallner (GER) for the first time. Granollers and Zeballos have a career record of 169-83 as a team, with a 3-2 record in 2025. This is their first final of the season, as Granollers was injured for the first two months. They have won 10 ATP Tour titles together, including 7 ATP Masters 1000 titles.
Schnaitter and Wallner, who are ranked No. 15 as a team, have a record of 9-10. They made their ATP Tour debut last year and reached their first final after defeating the No. 2 and No. 4 seeds in the Bucharest tournament. They aim to become the first all-German pair to win the Bucharest doubles title.
Granollers, aged 38, has a record of 27-29 in tour-level doubles finals and is aiming to win a title in his 15th different season. Zeballos, aged 39, has a record of 22-21 in tour-level doubles finals and aims to become the eighth Argentine to win the doubles title in Bucharest.
Schnaitter, aged 29, is looking for his first ATP Tour title in his first final. He has won 5 Challenger titles with Wallner. Wallner, aged 25, is also looking for his first ATP Tour title and has reached 9 Challenger doubles finals with Schnaitter.
That sums up the relevant information about the players and the doubles final in Bucharest.
