Sofia Kenin vs Bianca Andreescu prediction
Bianca Andreescu and Sofia Kenin lock horns for a sixth time when they meet in Rome.
The former Grand Slam champions are no longer operating at the peak of their powers, but it remains a match of intrigue for the first round.
Andreescu leads the head-to-head 3-2 but Kenin won 6-4 6-4 in Charleston earlier this year.
Four of their five matches have finished in straight sets, so the opener is likely to be key here.
Both players have struggled for wins so it is tricky call. Perhaps Kenin seems to look more comfortable on clay and she also leads the match-up 1-0 on the surface, so it could give her the edge.
Sofia Kenin vs Bianca Andreescu tip: Sofia Kenin to win 2-0
