THE PREDICTION
33-year-old Federica Di Sarra was handed a wildcard for her recent form on the ITF circuit and she will be well-backed by a partisan atmosphere on home clay in Rome. World number 530 Di Sarra stands very little chance at getting much more than a big day out in this first tour-level clash with Varvara Gracheva but this is not a total certainty given the Frenchwoman’s woeful start to 2024. World number 88 Gracheva almost beat Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon last summer, setting a career-high of 39th at the start of January, but she snapped a seven-match losing streak at the Charleston Open this time last month and she is without a win in two coming into Rome. The suitably cautious call is taking Gracheva to win outright so, given that is not worth your time, consider a one-off on Di Sarra to snatch a set here or leave the match be altogether.
TIP: VARVARA GRACHEVA TO WIN
