Cristian Garin vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina prediction
Cristian Garin defeated Juan Manuel Cerundolo in straight sets to reach the second-round in Rome. The Chilean was broken when serving for the first set but still took the lead after winning the tiebreak. Garin was pegged back after breaking at the start of the second, but he prevailed as Cerundolo was broken once more when serving to stay in the match. Garin won 7-6 (2) 7-5.
He takes on Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The Spaniard was unable to produce a deep run in Madrid, losing in round three to defending champion Casper Ruud in straight sets. He is yet to progress to a semi-final since the Adelaide International at the start of the year.
Davidovich Fokina leads the head-to-head 2-1, but Garin did win their only previous meeting on clay. The latter can be dangerous on this surface, but this is a match that Davidovich Fokina will be expected to win
