Sebastian Ofner vs Luca Nardi prediction

Will it be third time lucky for Luca Nardi against Sebastian Ofner?

The Italian lost both of their previous meetings on outdoor hardcourts back in 2023, but is now ranked at 85 in the world and 52 places above the Austrian.

Nardi has lost three in a row after a good run in Cincinnati, but is in better form than his opponent, who is on a seven-match losing streak, last winning at Wimbledon.

The smart money is on the 22-year-old Italian breaking his duck in the head-to-head but Ofner does have a big game and may test out the old game-plan from two years ago to see if Nardi still has the same weaknesses to exploit.
