Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez vs Flavio Cobolli prediction
Rodrigo Pacheco Mandez has been handed a wildcard for his home tournament. His last tournament was in Metepec on the Challenger Tour, and he impressed as he reached the semi-finals. That is the Mexican’s best result of the season so far. He competed in two singles matches for Mexico against Greece in Davis Cup qualifying. The 20-year-old won his first match against Stefanos Sakellaridis but then lost to former world number three Stefanos Tsitsipas.
He plays Flavio Cobolli. The Italian had started the season poorly with four straight losses, including a dismal straight sets defeat to Jack Pinnington Jones in Dallas. However, Cobolli found form in Delray Beach last week, winning two of his matches to make the last four, where he was defeated by Sebastian Korda.
Cobolli can be prone to an upset, which could raise some hope for Pacheco Mendez, who will have all the home support. Nevertheless, the Italian will take some confidence from his most recent event and is the clear favourite.
Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez vs Flavio Cobolli tip: Under 22.5 games
