THE PREDICTION
World number 55 Mackenzie McDonald has enjoyed some of the best form of his career this season but he takes a four-match losing streak into the Italian Open, with his last result a brilliant straight-sets upset of Matteo Berrettini in Miami. The 28-year-old beat Marco Cecchinato in four sets in their only previous meeting at the Australian Open two years ago but the tables are certainly turned here on clay, in Italy, to heavily favour Cecchinato. Former world number 14 Cecchinato has been playing on clay since the start of February as one of the more ‘specialist’ players on tour and a recent run to the semi-finals of the Estoril Open says he can be a threat here on home soil. The 30-year-old will enjoy a partisan atmosphere in this kind opening draw but three sets are still a distinct possibility. Back Cecchinato to win outright.
