Katie Volynets vs Clara Tauson prediction
Clara Tauson arrives in Rome still searching for a first meaningful outing on clay.
The Dane had risen to the brink of the top 20 with a charge to the final in Dubai, but just one win since has hampered her progress.
The 22-year-old has lost both of her matches on the dirt in Stuttgart and Madrid respectively, so will hope its third time lucky against Katie Volynets.
The American has been busy in clay tournaments on a lower tier recently but has impressed in reaching this stage from qualifying, defeating Arantxa Rus 6-3 6-3 in the first round.
If Tauson plays to the level she is capable of she will be too strong for the world number 66, but the American has the resilience to make it interesting if not.
