THE PREDICTION
World number 49 Marcos Giron brings a three-match losing streak into the Italian Open but he is probably the more comfortable of two players who would rather battle this out on a hardcourt. The 30-year-old has enjoyed some of his better form in recent months, finishing runner-up to Tommy Paul at the Dallas Open before a semi-final exit to eventual champion Taylor Fritz at the Delray Beach Open, but an early exit at the Provence Challenger last week is poor clay form coming into this draw.
World number 71 Emil Ruusuvuori began 2024 in excellent shape, finishing runner-up to Andrey Rublev in his maiden ATP final, but he brings a four-match losing streak into Rome on what has typically been his weakest surface to look the reasonable underdog here. Giron leads their head-to-head 2-1, including a recent win in Toronto last August, but both matches have been very tight indeed. Back Giron to earn at least a set but leave this match out of an accumulator.
TIP: MARCOS GIRON TO WIN A SET
