Mattia Bellucci vs Damir Dzumhur prediction
Damir Dzumhur will try to bounce back from back to back defeats against Mattia Bellucci.
The Bosnian is on the cusp of a return to the top 50 following a semi-final surge in Umag and despite a defeat in Toronto, he is having his best spell on tour since 2018.
Next up he takes on an Italian ranked 18 places below him, who has also lost his last two.
This will be their second tour-level encounter with Dzumhur coming out on top 4-6 6-4 6-2 in Madrid earlier this year.
Both players have some fizz on the forehand but Dzumhur will feel he has the greater penetration on a hard court and the overall edge.
