Baez and Kjaer are on the Day 3 Schedule at Nordea Open 2025 on Wednesday 16 July 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?

In an upcoming match, 24-year-old Sebastian Baez from Argentina, ranked World No. 37 with a career-high of No. 18, will face off for the first time against Norwegian qualifier Nicolai Budkov Kjaer. Baez achieved his career-best ranking after winning consecutive ATP Tour titles in Rio de Janeiro and Santiago in 2024, following a 12-match winning streak in the 2023 season, where he also reached the 3rd round of a Grand Slam at the US Open. He claimed his first ATP Tour title in 2022 at Estoril and his second in his home country in Cordoba in 2023. Starting from breaking into the Top 300 in 2021, Baez has steadily progressed to Top 200 and Top 100, with notable performances in Challenger tour finals.

Baez, a former World No. 1 junior player, made significant achievements early in his career, including reaching the boys’ singles final at Roland Garros and winning gold in boys’ doubles at the Youth Olympics. Currently, Baez is aiming to end a 7-match losing streak and secure his 1st win since April, hoping to add to his 23 ATP Tour quarter-final appearances, following successes in Rio, Santiago, and Bucharest this year.

On the other side of the court, 18-year-old Nicolai Budkov Kjaer from Norway, currently ranked World No. 298 with a career-high of No. 287, is also seeking a breakthrough. He earned his first ranking point at 17 and entered the Top 300 in early 2025, recording a notable ATP Tour debut victory at Bastad by defeating Monteiro in the 1st round. Kjaer has a 12-13 record in Challenger matches and secured his first title in 2025 at Glasgow after defeating Durasovic. In his junior career, Kjaer reached the top of the rankings and won titles at Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

With a win over Monteiro at Bastad, Kjaer claimed his first ATP Tour victory and now aims to continue his momentum by seeking his biggest career win to date. As the fourth Norwegian man in the Open Era to reach a tour-level quarter-final, he follows in the footsteps of players such as Casper Ruud, Christian Ruud, and Per Hegna. When Baez and Kjaer meet on the court in this upcoming match, both players will be looking to advance further in the tournament and showcase their talents.
