Cameron Norrie vs Sebastian Baez Prediction

Cameron Norrie, currently ranked 31, holds a form index of 32.64 and an Elo rating of 1345.65, indicating a solid performance level. His surface strength index stands at 10.40, which suggests he has a decent capability on hard courts, complemented by a mean serve index of 96.79 and a mean return index of 87.91. In contrast, Sebastian Baez, ranked 43, has a lower form index of 19.34 and an Elo rating of 918.66. His surface strength index is slightly lower at 8.23, with a mean serve index of 95.07 and a mean return index of 89.59. Notably, Norrie's serve index exceeds Baez's by more than 5 points, which could be critical in a tightly contested match. In their recent performances, Norrie's last three matches included a win against Andrey Rublev, contrasting with losses to Matteo Berrettini and Learner Tien. This showcases that while he has the ability to compete at a high level, inconsistency has been an issue. On the other hand, Baez has struggled significantly, losing all of his last three matches, including defeats to Reilly Opelka, Valentin Royer, and Holger Rune, without winning a set. This recent form suggests that Baez may be facing challenges in his game that could hinder his performance.
