THE PREDICTION
Former world number three Dominic Thiem looked in decent shape in a straight-sets defeat to Andy Murray last week at the Madrid Open but there is still a way to go in his rehabilitation from a lengthy wrist injury. The 28-year-old has a strong chance at a first win since his comeback here though with Fabio Fognini coming off a fairly disappointing loss to Nikoloz Basilashvili last week. The 34-year-old has reached two semi-finals on his favoured clay this season but he looks to be coming to the conclusion of his best years on tour and he has struggled against the top 30 on tour for some time. 2020 US Open champion Thiem is still a work in progress but he displayed enough fitness last week to suggest backing him to win at least a set is the sensible move to leave the winner up to chance. The Austrian leads their head-to-head 3-1, although Fognini claimed his only victory at this very tournament back in 2018.
