THE PREDICTION
World number eight Maria Sakkari should be considered a dark horse for a deep run in Rome with all the tools required to thrive in these conditions, The 28-year-old finished runner-up to Iga Swiatek at Indian Wells in March and she has lost to the eventual finalist in two of her last three as she continues to enjoy resurgent form under new coach David Witt.
World number 31 Anhelina Kalinina finished runner-up to Elena Rybakina in Rome last season and she got her return underway with a useful rest, with Lesia Tsurenko pulling up injured just two games into their match on Friday. The Ukrainian is far from the level she found this time last season but she should not be underestimated in conditions that suit her best, with a 1-1 head-to-head record with Sakkari seeing sets go both ways in both previous encounters. Back this all-new confident version of Sakkari to find a way though.
TIP: MARIA SAKKARI TO WIN
