THE PREDICTION
Former world number 14 Marketa Vondrousova should be considered a significant threat to the latter stages here in Rome as one of the better clay-courters on tour but she suffered an early exit to Magda Linette in three sets two weeks ago in Madrid. The current world number 70 is making steady gains after suffering an injury this time last year that ended her season early and back-to-back round of 16 exits across the Sunshine Double are proof that she can easily move back inside the top 40 soon. Former world number 15 Kaia Kanepi enjoyed a renaissance season last year to pull inside the top 30 but so far it seems that all the effort has caught up with the 37-year-old veteran. The Estonian takes a six-match losing streak into the first round of the Italian Open and her previous defeat before that run came at the hands of Marketa Vondrousova, in Adelaide, to take a 2-0 lead in their head-to-head. Back Vondrousova to win in straight sets.
