Andrea Pellegrino vs Luca Nardi prediction
Andrea Pellegrino needed to qualify to ensure his place in the main draw of the Italian Open, and he achieved the feat with wins over Hugo Gaston and Martin Landaluce. The Italian has reached three quarter-finals in total this season, with two occurring in Rosario and Murcia on the Challenger Tour. He was also able to progress to the last eight in Santiago on the ATP Tour.
He takes on a fellow Italian in Luca Nardi. His best result of the season was a final appearance in Manama on the Challenger Tour, where he lost to Kyrian Jacquet. His recent form has been more of a disappointment, with three straight losses. He has not competed since losing to Valentin Royer in the first-round of the Monza Challenger a month ago.
This will be their first ATP meeting, though Pellegrino did win their only previous encounter in Perugia last year. He does have a bit of form leading up to this event in comparison to his opponent, along with those wins in qualifying.
