Francesco Passaro vs Flavio Cobolli prediction
Francesco Passaro will hope to take the momentum from qualifying with him as he prepares to make his bow at the US Open. The Italian is currently ranked 121 in the world. He mainly competes on the Challenger Tour and primarily on clay courts, with a semi-final in Sassuolo his best result of the season.
Flavio Cobolli served for the match against Ben Shelton to make the quarter-final of a Masters tournament for the first time in Toronto. However, the Italian was broken and ended up losing the match, with Shelton going on to win the tournament. That was still his best result since making the quarter-finals of Wimbledon, as he then lost in round two of Cincinnati to Terence Atmane.
This has been a breakthrough season for Cobolli, with two titles on the ATP Tour, and the world number 26 will be a clear favourite against his compatriot in round one.
Francesco Passaro vs Flavio Cobolli tip: Flavio Cobolli to win 3-0 or 3-1
