THE PREDICTION

22-year-old Flavio Cobolli brought a career-high ATP world ranking of 57th into Rome and he played like it in a straight-sets victory over Maximilian Marterer. The Italian impressed as a last-minute addition to the Next Gen ATP Finals line-up late last season and shock wins over the likes of Nicolas Jarry and Felix Auger-Aliassime have marked his progress since.

World number 27 Sebastian Korda is playing better tennis than his 12-11 record for 2024 suggests, with each of his last eight defeats coming against a player either currently or recently ranked inside the top 10. The 23-year-old took Daniil Medvedev to three sets before defeat in the third round of the Madrid Open last time out but he brings some winning mentality into Rome after claiming the Men’s Doubles title alongside Jordan Thompson last Saturday. Cobolli will be dangerous backed to the hilt by a raucous home support but take Korda to have enough to come through outright.

TIP: SEBASTIAN KORDA TO WIN
