THE PREDICTION

World number 35 Paula Badosa reached the round of 16 at the Madrid Open before coming up against a dialled-in Maria Sakkari but her victory over Coco Gauff before that was encouraging. The 25-year-old claimed her most prestigious title at Indian Wells back in 2021 but she is still at her best on the clay and Rome’s more natural conditions could see her improve on her Madrid run. World number 88 Anna-Lena Friedsam qualified well this week to make the main draw without dropping a set but it is likely that Badosa has too many weapons in this first meeting between the two. Back the Spaniard to get her Rome campaign underway in straight sets.
