Sebastián Báez shines in Auckland, through to the ATP 250 final | OneFootball

Evidently, Sebastián Báez has reset himself. He is playing tennis as he did in his best times to leave behind a poor year. But this level not only satisfies him on the court but also on the scoreboard because the results in the ATP 250 in Auckland are as positive as his feelings. And continuously so.

This time, it was two in one. Yes. Two victories within hours due to heavy rain that forced the suspension of the quarterfinals. Therefore, he first defeated Ben Shelton (7-5 and 6-3) and later in the day did the same against Marcos Giron (6-1 and 6-4).

The South American tennis player, in this way, extends his spectacular unbeaten streak of the season to 7-0. After his victories in the United Cup matches with Argentina, he also defeated Emilio Nava and Jenson Brooksby in New Zealand. "I am very happy with all the work behind the scenes from my team, and, obviously, from a tennis standpoint, there are many changes in the serve and in playing a bit more aggressively," he said to the tournament organizers after the match.

"I believe there's no better way to arrive at a Grand Slam (at the Australian Open he was paired with Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard) than with confidence and winning matches, and obviously, there's still one match left tomorrow. I am very focused on making the best possible recovery, finishing the day as well as possible, and on tomorrow's match," he added.

It will be the second hard court final for the seventh seed, who will face Jakub Mensik as his opponent. The Czech needed three sets to defeat Fabian Marozsan 7-6 (9), 4-6, and 6-1 in two hours and nine minutes.
