Aleksandar Vukic vs Nicolas Moreno De Alboran prediction
Aleksander Vukic has really struggled for form ever since his encouraging performance at the Australian Open, where he defeated Sebastian Korda and lost a five set thriller with Jack Draper in the third-round. He proceeded to lose 11 matches in a row with the run only ending last week in Estoril.
Nevertheless, that Challenger event was a major step in the right direction as he won three successive matches before a semi-final defeat to Andrea Pellegrino. Vukic will hope he can continue this upturn in form at the Italian Open.
His opponent Nicolas Moreno De Alboran made it through qualifying which included a straight sets win over top seed Raphael Collignon. These two played each other just last week in Estoril, with Vukic ending his winless streak with a three set victory. The first two sets were relatively close between the pair but Vukic ran away with it in the decider, eventually winning 6-3 2-6 6-0.
We can see a similar kind of result occurring in Rome with the Australian making it through to the second-round.
Aleksandar Vukic vs Nicolas Moreno De Alboran tip: Aleksander Vukic to win 2-1
