Andrea Pellegrino vs Arthur Fils prediction
Andrea Pellegrino overcame compatriot Luca Nardi in three sets to progress to the second-round of the Italian Open. Pellegrino dropped the first set but was not broken on serve after that as he sealed a 4-6 6-3 6-3 win after two hours and 11 minutes. His best ATP result of the season was a quarter-final appearance in Santiago during the South American clay court swing.
He now goes up against Arthur Fils in round two. Fils continued his strong form last time out in Madrid. He won four matches in a row, before his run ended at the semi-final stage to Jannik Sinner in straight sets. The 21-year-old has been one of the most consistent players on tour over the last month, as he also clinched the title at the Barcelona Open in April.
Fils is performing very strongly right now, and if he maintains his level throughout, he should have no problem in getting through to the next round of the tournament.
