THE PREDICTION

22-year-old Flavio Cobolli brings a career-high ATP world ranking of 57th into Rome after an excellent run to the third round of the Madrid Open, where he upset Chileans Alejandro Tabilo and Nicolas Jarry before defeat to 16th seed Karen Khachanov. The Italian is one of many up-and-coming home talents vying for attention on Wednesday but he should thrive behind raucous partisan atmosphere opening Grand Stand Arena, with this something of a thankless task for world number 98 Maximilian Marterer. 28-year-old Marterer qualified well this week, upsetting former number seven Richard Gasquet in qualifying, but a woeful 0-7 record at tour level so far this season does not bode well for the German, who has struggled so far on his favoured clay. Back Cobolli to win in straight sets.

TIP: FLAVIO COBOLLI TO WIN 2-0
