Jesper De Jong vs Francesco Passaro prediction
Jesper de Jong will expect to have the edge when he faces clay-courter Francesco Passaro.
The 25-year-old Italian has won just 12 main draw matches across five seasons and is featuring on hardcourt for the first time since January.
De Jong is down at 100 in the world at the moment but that is still 107 places better off than Passaro and he also won in five sets at the French Open last year and in a Cagliari qualifier in 2024.
Both of those matches were on Passaro’s preferred surface, so we don’t see the outcome changing on hard.
