THE PREDICTION
22-year-old Matteo Arnaldi broke the top 100 on tour for the first time this week after receiving a wildcard to the main draw of the Italian Open for a second successive season. The Italian come sin hot after stunning world number four Casper Ruud in straight sets at the Madrid Open, where he reached the third round on his debut having only just claimed his first tour-level win in Barcelona. World number 91 Diego Schwartzman comes in cold, very cold, but the Argentine’s poor form should lift a little here at a tournament he has loved over the years. The 30-year-old finished runner-up to Novak Djokovic here in 2020 after stunning Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals, the same season he set a career-high ATP world ranking of eighth to end up qualifying for the ATP Finals. Whilst Schwartzman brings a woeful 5-12 record here it would be unwise to underestimate him in these conditions. Back wildcard Arnaldi to earn at least a set but leave the victor up to chance.
