Baez’s recent run is mixed: a solid win over Grigor Dimitrov followed by a loss to Learner Tien, then a 2-0 victory in Winston-Salem. Surface fit contributed +2.1 points toward Cerundolo in the model. Both players show modest surface strength indices on hard courts (Cerundolo 17.53, Baez 21.70), but Cerundolo’s more consistent recent results at this level on hard courts and slightly better Elo support the model’s reading.
