Luciano Darderi vs Gabriel Diallo prediction

Gabriel Diallo survived an early scare to sink Kyrian Jacquet.

The Canadian avoided an immediate blow on home turf to claim a 6-7 6-3 6-2 success over the French qualifier.

The wildcard will now take on Luciano Darderi for the first time with the Italian 19th seed closing-in on his best season yet in terms of match wins.

Diallo may be way down at 108 in the world, but he has the serve to do damage and the motivation to do well in his homeland.

That said, Darderi will relish the chance to play the villain and he may well have the edge over the distance.
