THE PREDICTION

World number six Elena Rybakina takes a 1-2 record on clay into the Italian Open after defeats to Beatriz Haddad-Maia and Anna Kalinskaya in Stuttgart and Madrid, respectively, but the Kazakh should be too strong for Jasmine Paolini here. World number 65 Paolini grabbed a much-needed victory over Xinyu Wang in three sets to snap a five-match losing streak on tour but a first meeting with Rybakina should prove far too steep despite home backing in Rome. 23-year-old Rybakina is well capable of winning any tournament she enters right now but it will be interesting to see how she fares this fortnight on what is probably her weakest surface these days. Back Rybakina to win in straight sets all the same.
