THE PREDICTION
World number one Novak Djokovic comfortably beat Corentin Moutet 6-3 6-1 on Friday night, despite having his serve broken twice, but he was thankfully not sriously hurt when a water bottle fell from a spectator’s bag onto his head whilst meeting fans afterwards. The 36-year-old has endured one of his sparest seasons so far as he entered the Italian Open in the rare position of not yet winning a trophy this year but he is a six-time former champion in Rome and he stands an excellent chance at a seventh in the absence of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
26-year-old Alejandro Tabilo will set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 31st after beating Yannick Hanfmann in straight sets, building on his strong clay form from winning the Cagliari Challenger last week. The Chilean is enjoying an excellent breakthrough season on tour but Djokovic is well aware that he is running out of time to find form ahead of Roland-Garros and we should expect more concise tennis as a result. Back the top seed to win in straight sets.
TIP: NOVAK DJOKOVIC TO WIN 2-0
