Luca Nardi vs Alex de Minaur prediction
Luca Nardi produced a strong display to defeat compatriot Flavio Cobolli 6-3 6-4 and make it through to the second-round. The Italian now has three wins from his last four matches after his run to the quarter-finals of the Estoril Challenger and looks to have played himself into some form.
Alex de Minaur will be his opponent in the second-round. The Australian has been competitive on the clay so far this season, as he made the semi-finals in Monte-Carlo, losing a close match with Lorenzo Musetti in the last four after taking the first set. He reached the quarters in Barcelona but lost out to Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets.
Unfortunately for De Minaur, he would go on to lose to Musetti once more in the fourth-round of Madrid, with the Italian wrapping up a more comfortable win this time around in straight sets. De Minaur struggled with the conditions and was mostly uncompetitive during the encounter.
Nevertheless, the Australian has comfortably made it through the early rounds of his most recent events and we don’t see that changing here.
Luca Nardi vs Alex de Minaur tip: Alex de Minaur to win 2-0
