According to the information in the text, Baes hasn't played on clay since last year but showed good tennis against Popko in the Davis Cup. He also demonstrated quality play at the 2024 Australian Open, except for his loss to Sinner, who eventually became the tournament winner. Meanwhile, Delien struggled in his previous match, providing many opportunities for errors and seeking medical assistance. Considering Baes' more powerful game and the support of the local crowd, it can be expected that he will be able to win in straight sets and defend his championship title.
