Sebastian Baez Advances to Second Round in Bucharest After Dominant Performance Sebastian Baez secured his place in the second round of the Tiriac Open in Bucharest with a commanding straight-sets victory over Vilius Gaubas, marking a strong start to his clay-court campaign. The fifth-seeded Argentine, a former finalist in the tournament, dispatched Gaubas 6-3, 6-1 in just 80 minutes, showcasing his precision and composure on the clay. The match, which took place on Tuesday after a rain delay that pushed back the start of main-draw action, saw Baez save all five break points he faced in his debut Lexus ATP Head2Head clash against the 21-year-old Lithuanian. Baez’s performance was highlighted by his ability to maintain control despite the challenging conditions. “I’m happy to be back, to be here on this court where I have good memories, and some not the best,” he said after the match. “In any case, I like to play here with the crowd, and of course I’m happy with my level today. I know him. It’s the first time we played, but he’s a good player with a good future, so all the best to him and of course I’m happy to be in the next round.” The fifth seed will next face Frenchman Titouan Droguet, who advanced after defeating former Top 10 star Roberto Bautista Agut in a three-set thriller. Droguet’s victory came after a dramatic encounter on Central Court, where Damir Dzumhur and Filip Cristian Jianu played a two-hour, 41-minute match. Jianu, the World No. 246 home wild card, mounted a remarkable comeback in the final set, rallying from 0-3 to serve for the match at 6-5. However, Dzumhur’s late surge secured a 6-3, 4-6, 7-6(4) victory, setting up a second-round clash with fourth seed Nuno Borges. Meanwhile, the tournament’s rain-delayed schedule saw several other notable results.#sebastian_baez #tiriac_open #vilius_gaubas #titouan_droguet #roberto_bautista_agut
