THE PREDICTION
World number 56 Elisabetta Cocciaretto came back from a set down to beat qualifier Renata Zarazua on Wednesday to snap a three-match losing streak and she will be desperate to prolong her stay on home clay. The 23-year-old won her maiden WTA title at the Lausanne Ladies Open on clay last summer but she has looked a decent all-court threat over the last two years, although victory at the Charleston Challenger in March suggested she would enjoy a better clay swing than she has so far.
Former world number four Caroline Garcia looks the pretty solid favourite in this potential thriller, though, as she leads their head-to-head 4-1 after a three-set victory at the Rouen Open last month. All five of their meetings have come on clay and the Frenchwoman has already beaten Cocciaretto twice in Italy, in the first round here three years ago and at the Palermo Ladies Open in 2022. Back Garcia to come through outright with three sets likelier than two.
TIP: CAROLINE GARCIA TO WIN
