Watch the match highlights between Maria Sakkari & Naomi Osaka in Round 1 of the 2026 United Cup.
Jaume Munar has lost four of his last five matches. The last match he played was in last season’s Davis Cup, where he lost to Cobolli in three sets. This will be his opening match of the season. Munar performed well last season on hard courts.
Sebastian Baez has lost five straight matches. The last match he played was in November last season, when he lost to Guillen Meza on clay in straight sets. His previous win was in October in Shanghai, when he defeated Zhang in three tight sets. The Argentine struggled on hard courts last season.
According to the bookies, Munar is the heavy favourite in this matchup, and we agree. He performed well last season on fast courts and will have an edge on his serve. We expect him to dominate against Baez, who struggled in the second part of the 2025 season.

The 2026 tennis season kicks off on Friday, January 2 at the United Cup in Perth. Spain, Argentina, Greece, and Japan are taking the court on Day 1, with Jaume Munar and Stefanos Tsitsipas among those in action.Jaume Munar (ESP) vs. Sebastian Baez (ARG)Munar and Baez will be squaring off for the third time in their careers when Spain and Argentina collide at the United Cup on Friday. They have split their two previous encounters; Munar advanced via third-set retirement during 2021 Buenos Aires qualifying before Baez prevailed 6-4, 6-4 in another Golden Swing meeting — 2024 in Santiago.
Based on how 2025 transpired, Munar should regain the upper hand in this matchup. The 28-year-old Spaniard climbed to No. 33 in the world, putting himself in prime position to be seeded at the Australian Open. He wrapped up last season also playing for his country, compiling a 1-2 record in the Davis Cup Finals but playing extremely well in all three of his rubbers. Baez, on the other hand, slumped to a 17-24 record last year and he his game has never been effective on any surface other than clay.Pick: Munar in 2 #ays-poll-id-69570a7276f9b.box-apm { width: 600px;
