Basilashvili is the better tennis player. He hasn’t had any failures this season on the clay. He has lost to players who are as good as he is now. However, the same cannot be said about Bagnis.
Basilashvili defeated Bagnis in their only head-to-head encounter. In that match, Nikoloz did not give up a single set to Bagnis.
The only successful tournament for Bagnis this season has been the Challenger in Perreira, Colombia. The Argentine has been unimpressive at other events. However, despite all the setbacks he holds 98th place in the world ranking.
In the main draw of the tournament in Geneva, Facundo made it from the qualifiers. In the first round, in a tense struggle, he eliminated Lukas Klein (4-6, 6-3, 6-2). In the next match, Bagnis defeated Vitaliy Sachko (6:2, 6:3).
This season, Basilashvili is not playing well on the clay. Nikoloz has some victories, but on the whole Nikoloz’s performance cannot be called successful. He has played a total of eight matches on this surface in 2022, in which he has won three.
Basilashvili came to Geneva from Rome, where he reached the second round. He defeated Daniel Evans in his first match (7-6, 6-2). However, in the next match, he failed to cope with Denis Shapovalov (4-6, 6-7).
