Flavio Cobolli vs Ignacio Buse prediction

Flavio Cobolli was unable to make a deep run at his home event as he lost in the third-round to Thiago Agustin Tirante at the Italian Open. Nevertheless, it’s still been an encouraging showing from Cobolli during this clay court swing, as he progressed to the last eight at the Madrid Open, along with a final appearance in Munich. He is ranked 12 in the world.

Cobolli takes on Ignacio Buse. The Peruvian qualified for this event after comfortable wins over Niels Mcdonald and Hugo Gaston. His best result of the season was a semi-final appearance at the Rio Open, while he also advanced to the quarter-finals of a Challenger event in Aix-en-Provence last month.

Cobolli can be prone to an upset against a lower-ranked player, and Buse is someone who can cause problems to opponents on clay. This is not the easiest of first-round matches for the defending champion.
