THE PREDICTION
34-year-old Fabio Fognini has won just two of his last five matches and continues to struggle for consistent form on clay this season. The Italian should have more than enough to beat French wildcard Gregoire Barrere in this opening match on Sunday but the 27-year-old will do well to keep his motivation up as Fognini’s temper can be exposed over five sets. Fognini should be winning this match in straight sets on paper but the crowd will back the underdog Barrere well here and that could contribute to a set or even two for the world number 127 so take Fognini to win this outright.
