THE PREDICTION
23-year-old Francesco Passaro may have felt he had something to prove after missing out on a wildcard for the Italian Open but he has been awarded a show court on Wednesday after two impressive wins in qualifying. The Italian set a career-high ATP world ranking of 108th early last season but he brings very little form into Rome on his deflated rank of 240th to face world number 73 Arthur Rinderknech. 28-year-old Rinderknech has been threatening to find some form since the start of the clay swing, taking Alexander Shevchenko to three sets before defeat at this stage of the Madrid Open, but there is the scent of an upset around this first encounter. Home advantage will be a huge boost to Passaro on Pietrangeli but it would be wise to avoid picking an outright winner here. Take Passaro to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: FRANCESCO PASSARO TO WIN A SET
