Camilo Ugo Carabelli vs Alexander Shevchenko prediction
Camilo Ugo Carabelli last competed in Madrid, winning his first-round match against Gael Monfils but then losing to Flavio Cobolli despite taking the first set. The Argentine retained his Challenger Tour title in Rosario earlier this year, while he also progressed to the quarter-finals of the Grand Prix Hassan II last month. He is inside the top 65 of the world rankings.
He begins his campaign in Rome against Alexander Shevchenko. The Kazakhstani has lost four of his last five matches overall. He failed to make it out of qualifying for the BMW Open in Munich, and that was followed by a first-round loss in Madrid. He dropped down to compete on the Challenger Tour in Aix-en-Provence last week but could only muster a second-round appearance as he lost to Wu Yibing in straight sets.
Both players play their best stuff on this surface, but Ugo Carabelli has the higher ceiling, and he is the favourite to advance to the next round.
