THE PREDICTION

World number 89 Salvatore Caruso was mentally strong to return to his first round match with Lucas Catarina a day later due to rain and win from behind in three sets. The Italian has, however, not been rewarded for his efforts as he faces world number eight Andrey Rublev here in the knowledge that he was thrashed by the Russian in their first meeting. Rublev beat Caruso in the third round of the US Open last season, conceding just four games in the process, and he has a statement to make at this tournament after losing three successive semi-finals on tour. The pressure is on 23-year-old Rublev here to prove that he can get back on the horse after such an incredible period of success and he will be keen to show the rest of the draw he is a Monte-Carlo Masters contender by winning this in comprehensive straight sets.
