Elina Svitolina vs Hailey Baptiste prediction
Elina Svitolina will face off with Hailey Baptiste for the second year in a row in Rome.
The Ukrainian won 6-4 3-6 6-4 on Italian clay in 2025 but did lose their last meeting 6-3 7-5 in Miami recently.
Both players have been excellent on the dirt in recent weeks so this could well be another close battle.
We tend to side with Elina on this surface as she will have more time to counter punch, but Hailey could well take it three.
