Frances Tiafoe spent almost three hours in his last two matches against Sebastian Korda in the semis and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the quarters. Not only these two matches, but Tiafoe also came fighting from the first round in three sets each to reach the finals. The semifinal was quite heated until the deciding tiebreak that was undoubtedly won by Frances Tiafoe. He is using his forehand quite brilliantly to trick the opponent and firing his cross-court backhand. Tiafoe will play his first final of the year while coming from an uneven road. The dangerous serve return will be a huge challenge for Argentine Sebastian Baez.
Sebastian Baez undoubtedly has a great run on the court, his super-speed incapable the rival to earn points. Baez easily conquered his second round against J. Sousa in one hour but had to do more work for the quarter and semifinal. Baez smoothly wrapped the first set by 6-3 but Ramos-Vinolas tied him up to a solid second set tiebreak taking the match to a deciding set. But Baez white washed Ramos to 6-0 reaching the finals in two and a half hours. Baez can go for long rallies and deep down baseline strokes leaving the opponent vulnerable to play.
