Roman Andres Burruchaga vs Mattia Bellucci prediction

Roman Andres Burruchaga is enjoying the best season of his career, and he is now inside the top 60 of the world rankings. His last three tournaments have been very impressive, beginning with a title in Sao Paulo on the Challenger Tour. Despite a quick turnaround, he won four matches in a row to reach his first tour-level final in Houston. He served for the match, he still ended up losing to Tommy Paul. He overcame that disappointment with another strong showing in Cagliari as he progressed to the semi-finals.

His first-round opponent is Mattia Bellucci. He also competed in Cagliari but lost in the second-round. It’s not been the strongest of clay court seasons up to now for the Italian, though he did get through to the semi-finals of an event in Monza.

It’s hard to look past Burruchaga after his run of form on clay in 2026. He excels in longer rallies and moves extremely well on the surface.
