THE PREDICTION
World number 34 Leylah Fernandez has everything she needs to excel on a clay court, with a run to the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros in 2022 to prove it, but she has struggled to get anything going in Rome so far in her career. The 21-year-old enjoyed a run to the quarter-finals at the Qatar Masters in February but she has struggled to find anything like the level that saw her drag Canada to their inaugural Billie Jean King Cup late last year. World number 63 Ana Bogdan is at her best in these conditions and she should not be underestimated in this first encounter with the 2021 US Open runner-up. The 31-year-old finished runner-up to Karolina Pliskova at the Transylvania Open to start what is now a five-match losing streak at tour level but she stopped the rot at the Lleida Challenger last week to suggest she will be competitive here. Back Fernandez to find a way through on its own or take the Canadian to earn at least a set inside an accumulator.
TIP: LEYLAH FERNANDEZ TO WIN
