Marin Cilic vs Martin Landaluce prediction
Marin Cilic progressed to the second-round of the Italian Open after defeating Marcos Giron. The 2014 US Open champion broke at the end of both sets to win 7-5 6-4 after one hour and 46 minutes.
He now faces Martin Landaluce, who enters the draw as a lucky loser, following the withdrawal of Valentin Vacherot. The Spaniard won his first qualifying match against Christopher O’Connell but then lost to Andrea Pellegrino in three sets. Landaluce’s highlight of the season was his exceptional run to the quarter-finals of the Miami Open, but his recent results have been less impressive, as he lost his opening round matches in Barcelona and Madrid, and was only able to make the second-round of a Challenger event in Aix-en-Provence last week.
Cilic leads the head-to-head after a win over Landaluce in Nottingham last year. He is still a very competitive performer at his age, and he has enough quality to get the job done here.
