Day four at the 2026 Argentina Open saw Sebastián Báez (ATP singles ranked 34) cement his title-candidate credentials with a 6-4, 6-3 victory against Perú’s Ignacio Buse (96) in just under an hour and a half. “I think I improved as the game progressed today,” he told the Herald in the press conference. Báez said he’s been trying to “be more aggressive,” focusing on pushing rivals more often with his serves and groundstrokes. “I think feeling good again, feeling quick again, and feeling solid at the baseline gives you more confidence to keep improving and finding new tools,” he said. Martínez took the lead early on but couldn’t serve the match out at 5-3.
