THE PREDICTION

World number 366 Francesco Passaro received a wildcard to the main draw of the Italian Open on Sunday afternoon in what will be the 21-year-old’s ATP tour debut. The Italian will be up against it with 25-year-old Cristian Garin one of the more seasoned clay specialists on the tour, although the Chilean is certainly still well below the level he is capable of in what has been a tough 2022 so far. 25-year-old Garin owns five ATP titles on clay, most recently winning last season’s Chile Open, but a run to the semi-finals of the Houston Open last month were small steps to finding his feet on this swing in time for a decent tout at Roland-Garros. No matter his current issues, Garin should be winning this opener in straight sets as the vastly more qualified player at this level.
