All the numbers left by the consecration of Báez in Córdoba

Sebastian Baeznumber 47 in the ATP world ranking, was established this Sunday as the new champion of the Cordoba ATP 250. There, on Argentine soil, the man born in Billinghurst achieved several numbers that we will review below.

The first of all has to do with his record since, after defeating Federico Coria 6-1, 3-6 and 6-3, lifted his second ATP title after what had been his consecration in Estoril 2022. At that time he had beaten Frances Tiafoe 6-3 and 6-2.

In addition, it is the first Argentine and Latin American title in the last seven months. After a little more than half a year of drought, Báez returned a trophy to his country and to the south of the continent. The last one had been by Francisco Cerúndolo, precisely before Báez, at the ATP 250 in Bastad, in July 2022.

It should be mentioned that Argentine tennis also won its 228th ATP trophy, of which 62 are from Guillermo Vilas, 25 from José Luis Clerc and 22 from Juan Martín del Potro. With this title, Báez equaled Leonardo Mayer (Hamburg 2014 and 2017), Carlos Berlocq (Bastad 2013 and Oeiras 2014), Agustín Calleri (Acapulco 2003 and Kitzbuhel 2006) and Federico Delbonis (Sao Paulo 2014 and Marrakech 2016).

Last but not least, the new champion of the Córdoba Open 2023 had lost 17 of his last 18 games before the start of February 2023. After having lost the final of Estoril 2022, he chained defeats in Hamburg (vs. Filip Krajinovic), Umag (vs. Franco Agamenone), Washington (vs. Sebastian Korda), Montreal (vs. Nick Kyrgios), Cincinnati (vs. Taylor Fritz ), US Open (vs. Carlos Alcaraz), Davis Cup (vs. Elias Ymer, Matteo Berrettini and Borna Gojo), Gijón (vs. Constant Lestienne), Naples (vs. Zhizhen Zhang), Basel (vs. Pablo Carreno Busta) , Paris (vs. Karen Khachanov), Pune (vs. Pedro Martinez), Auckland (vs. Ben Shelton) and the Australian Open (vs. Jason Kubler). The only win he got was against Lorenzo Sonego in the first round in Naples.
