THE PREDICTION
Watch out for former world number one Simona Halep this week in Rome after the 30-year-old stunned Madrid Open favourite Paula Badosa last week on her way to the quarter-finals. The Romanian also beat Coco Gauff en-route to the last eight before being outplayed by eventual champion Ons Jabeur but she should take the positives through to the Italian Open as a former champion here from 2020 – her most recent of six Masters titles. There is also some needle in this match after 32-year-old Alize Cornet shocked her in the round of 16 at the Australian Open back in January for a third-consecutive win in a 4-1 head-to-head record that, rather surprisingly, favours the Frenchwoman. Cornet has struggled to match that intensity since Melbourne but it is notable that her last huge result came against Halep. Nevertheless, back the former champion to win this outright.
