THE PREDICTION
World number 79 Cristian Garin overcame a tough opening draw against Pedro Cachin in three sets on Wednesday and the Chilean should be considered a big threat on clay despite his current rank. The former world number 17 owns five ATP titles on his favoured surface but he has struggled to maintain any sort of rhythm on tour over the past few seasons until an encouraging recent revival across the Sunshine Double. Three of Garin’s four exits on clay since the start of last month have come against top 10 competition but world number 17 Tommy Paul is not far from that level despite recently struggling on clay. The 25-year-old finished runner-up to Andy Murray at a Provence Challenger on Sunday to bring some confidence into the Italian Open but he has lost his first two tour-level matches on clay so far this year. Garin came back from a set down to beat Paul in the first round of Roland-Garros last summer and both of their previous meetings have seen sets go both ways in a win apiece, so back Garin to earn at least a set here to leave the victor up to chance.
