THE PREDICTION
This is a fantastic opportunity for one of world number 87 Norbert Gombos or number 104 Marco Cecchinato to reach the semi-final of an ATP 250 event via some quiet, hard work this week in Parma. Cecchinato, especially, has struck a neat groove at the Emilia-Romagna Open with back-to-back straight-sets victories and the Italian has been a tough player to beat in recent weeks with three tight losses to Roberto Bautista Agut, Cam Norrie and Denis Shapovalov. However, 30-year-old Gombos is in impressive form himself having qualified for the main draw as a lucky loser. The Slovak has beaten two strong competitors in Emil Ruusuvuori and Albert Ramos-Vinolas via three sets and that could make him the favourite here the longer this match continues. Gombos was the winner in their only previous meeting at last year’s Paris Masters on a hard court but Cecchinato is probably the better player on clay so take this match to see three sets and leave a winner up to chance.
