Lisa Pigato vs Tyra Caterina Grant prediction
Lisa Pigato will hope her greater experience will pay off in a clash of Italian youngsters in Rome.
The 22-year-old world number 141 has won three of her tour-level matches so far this season and has won two lower level titles on clay in 2026.
Her compatriot, Tyra Grant sits at 234 in the rankings, but did recently upset Elsa Jacquemot in Madrid to earn her maiden win at this level.
The 18-year-old wildcard will be seen as the underdog but she has also won a W35 title on the dirt and may well rise to the occasion.
It sets up a mouthwatering clash from the perspective of the home support and while Pigato will be a clear favourite, don’t rule out Grant causing plenty of trouble and it may be worth a punt on her having some joy.
Lisa Pigato vs Tyra Caterina Grant tip: Over 2.5 sets
