THE PREDICTION
This could be a fascinating encounter between two players struggling with confidence issues on court this season. It feels odd to say that of world number four Casper Ruud considering he only recently won the 10th ATP title of his career at the Estoril Open but the Norwegian brings an average 11-9 record into Rome after early exits in Monte-Carlo, Barcelona and a shock defeat to qualifier Matteo Arnaldi at this stage of the Madrid Open last time out. World number 89 Arthur Rinderknech beat Flavio Cobolli in straight sets on Wednesday to avoid his own early upset but the Frenchman is far from the player who set a career-high of 42nd late last season. The 27-year-old is a solid all-courter but Ruud is one of the best on clay on tour and well capable of winning this sort of match at 80%. Ruud won their only previous meeting in straight sets in the semi-finals of Kitzbuhel in 2021 but back him to take this second meeting outright given his recent results.
