THE PREDICTION

World number 63 Sebastian Korda is coming into his own on clay just in time to potentially stun a few players at Roland-Garros but first he faces Macro Cecchinato for the first time in his first ever ATP final. The 20-year-old American has already beat the first seed Lorenzo Sonego this week but faces new tests in this final as a debutant against 28-year-old Cecchinato who has been and done this before. The world number 104 is better than his current ranking and has three clay-court titles to his name, all ATP 250 events like the Emilia-Romagna Open. Cecchinato has beaten a series of tough competitors to reach this stage but there is no question that Korda’s route here has been via higher quality opponents and that could count for something here. His mentality is usually fairly unflappable so take the 20-year-old to step up to the task and win his first title here in Parma.
