THE PREDICTION

27-year-old Katerina Siniakova moved back up to world number 36 after victory at the Lleida Challenger last week, beating a talented field to look an outsider for a deep run in Rome. The Czech won two of her five WTA titles last season, on grass at the Bad Homburg Open and on hardcourt at the Nanchang Open late-on, and she also finished runner-up to Leylah Fernandez in Hong Kong. World number 292 Nuria Brancaccio earned a wildcard to the main draw in Rome after enjoying some strong form on the ITF circuit this season but this looks too steep of a challenge with just one tour-level match under her belt in 2024. Siniakova can blow hot and cold more than most on tour but back the Czech to roll through to the next round in two on this occasion.

TIP: KATERINA SINIAKOVA TO WIN IN 2-0
