Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Dominik Koepfer from Germany leads the head-to-head record against Sebastian Baez from Argentina with a score of 1-0. The match took place at the ATP Masters 1000 Miami tournament in the United States, on a hard court surface. Koepfer won the match 6-3, 6-2.

Koepfer is currently 30 years old and ranked as the world number 62. His career-high ranking was number 49, achieved in March 2024. He has had a consistent improvement in his year-end ranking for six consecutive seasons, starting from 2016. In 2019, he broke into the top 100, and in 2021, he reached the top 50.

Throughout his career, Koepfer had notable achievements, such as reaching the semi-finals at the 2021 Acapulco tournament and the 2023 Los Cabos tournament. He also had a remarkable performance at the 2020 Rome tournament, where he qualified for the main draw and reached his first ATP Tour quarterfinal. In the 2019 US Open, he made it to the fourth round as a qualifier and also reached the third round in various other prestigious tournaments, including Roland Garros, Wimbledon, Tokyo Olympics, and ATP Masters 1000 Paris in 2021.

Before pursuing professional tennis, Koepfer earned a finance degree and was a two-time All-American player at Tulane University in New Orleans from 2013 to 2016. In his career, Koepfer has a record of 9 wins and 25 losses against top 20 players. However, he has had a relatively successful season with five wins, including a clay court victory over the

17th-ranked player, Ugo Humbert in Lyon. Notably, Koepfer returned to competitive play in this tournament after missing Wimbledon due to a left ankle injury.

On the other hand, Sebastian Baez, aged 23, holds the world number 19 ranking, with a career-high of number 18, achieved in June. Baez had a successful run in February 2024, winning consecutive ATP Tour titles in Rio de Janeiro and Santiago, which propelled him into the top 20. In 2023, he achieved a personal-best of 31 wins, including a 12-match winning streak. He won titles in Kitzbuhel and Winston-Salem and reached the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time at the US Open. Baez’s first ATP Tour title was earned in 2022 at Estoril, followed by another title on home soil at Cordoba in 2023. Prior to his professional career, Baez had significant success as a junior player. He became the World No. 1 junior in March 2018 and reached the Roland Garros boys’ singles final, as well as winning the boys’ doubles gold medal at the Youth Olympics alongside Diaz Acosta in his hometown of Buenos Aires.

In terms of this season, Baez has had impressive performances on clay courts, with the second-most wins (20) on the ATP Tour. A victory in the first round of this tournament would see him equal Casper Ruud’s tally of 21 clay court wins. Baez also holds the distinction of being one of the two ATP 500 champions on clay this season, winning his biggest career title in Rio de Janeiro in February.
