Predictions
Samuel Gill, Head Editor for TennisUpToDate.com sees Sebastian Baez being crowned champion.
Sebastian Baez was a true standout at the start of the year in United Cup and other further tournaments and I see him returning home and doing what we know in the trade as a Casper Ruud and clean up in the smaller clay court events.
I see both him and Francisco Cerundolo thriving over the next week or so. Albeit Joao Fonseca can't be counted out, he has dealt with injury issues in recent months.
So Cerundolo and Baez are more dead certainties in a field of in my view only three contenders
** Sebastian Baez
* Francisco Cerundolo, Joao Fonseca
Sebastian Baez winner at Cordoba.
Lucas Michael, Editor for TennisUpToDate.com sees Francisco Cerundolo as the champion in Buenos Aires on home soil.
The Golden swing is set to commence in fine fashion with the Argentina Open hosting what is expected to be a very competitive competition.
The tournament has been blown wide open with the world number five Lorenzo Musetti withdrawing from the event due to an injury picked up in the Australian Open. It is music to the ears of the reigning champion Joao Fonseca, who made his mark this time last year with a thrilling showing.
Now the number three seed, the Brazilian will have a lot of support and will be one of the players to beat. Despite this, he has not kicked off the year with a bang with an opening round defeat in the Australian Open lingering on his mind. The inform player who is featuring in Buenos Aires Is last year’s runner-up Francisco Cerundolo.
The home hero played some very solid tennis in Melbourne and will be hoping to use this momentum to his benefit. Fellow Argentine has already reached a final this year in the ASB Classic, with him already experiencing going deep in an event in 2026.
The Italian tennis fans will be keeping a close eye on this with the number two seed Luciano Darderi, Lorenzo Sonego and former Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini will be looking to make an impact.
For the champion, I am going to pick a popular winner in the Argentine capital with Cerundolo capitalising on his positive form to pick up a first title since July 2024.
*** Francisco Cerundolo
** Joao Fonseca, Sebastian Baez
* Luciano Darderi, Daniel Altmaier, Matteo Berrettini

- Quinwen learned it's better to have friends in tennis. Happy to see she has changed her attitude on the circuit.
- Remind her the racquet is in HER hand, not any coach.
- My advice to Coco is take a few months off from the tour and focus on the serve. If MacMillan is not producing the expected results, relieve him of his duties and hire someone else. To hell with the rankings and what people will say. Just take a break. Mental health is far more important than money.
- Eventually (as other sports have done) WTA will be forced to make DNA / Gender Testing mandatory in order to protect and promote fairness in competitions. End of so-called 'controversy'.
- It's sad... but Rybakina is not going to be able to endure her groomer's interference in Life and still excel to her best level. BTW: No media has reported her last sentence to the physio. They kept asking questions and she abruptly told them: "I know what it is; I'm ready to go now".
- You seem to have 'lost the plot' ??
- This needs to be done, and I think Jessica Pegula is an excellent choice for chair to look into the situation. However, a very brief look at the other members of the panel would suggest a very USA heavy contingent. The group needs to represent all interests, not just turn it into a way the US can screw more money out of an already biased calendar.
- The tennis world should be kissing her feet for taking-on this long needed position in a much needed council. The WTA and ATP need a good shaking-up. Pegula's business heritage is a proven one. Let's hope she and her colleagues can stop WTA & ATP from shutting their work down and out. GO GET 'EM !!
- So the Sportswasher's largest market is... the Filipino community? That's all well and good but the hundreds and hundreds of empty seats throughout is embarrassing. Talk about bad optics!
- The poor Head Sportswasher has been whining and crying in the media, and basically threatening Saba, Iga, etc. Must be a real Ego Buster when they dangle money and people (especially Women) say, 'No thanks'.
