THE PREDICTION
Former world number 20 Guido Pella is ranked just inside the top 500 right now as he continues to struggle on his comeback from a lengthy injury lay-off. The 32-year-old took Denis Shapovalov to three sets before defeat at the Miami Open back in March but this is his first match since, and his first on clay since February. World number 41 Maxime Cressy is not exactly flush with form either, though, as he takes a poor seven-match losing streak into the first round in Rome. The 25-year-old is at his best on grass or a very fast hardcourt as a serve-and-volley specialist and that limits his effectiveness on traditional clay courts like these. This match should be kept well separate from ant promising accumulators but both players are no strangers to a tiebreak or two and taking at least one in this first meeting between them looks the best way to avoid a result.
