THE PREDICTION
This is something of an old-school clash between 38-year-old Philipp Kohlschreiber and 29-year-old Marco Cecchinato, with both players sharing a career-high ATP world ranking of 16th from their respective heydays. The pair are better-suited to the clay, on which the German has won six of his total eight career title and the Italian each of his three, but this should be a well-contested battle on Tuesday with sets in it for both players. World number 134 Kohlschreiber leads their head-to-head record 2-0 with two straight-sets victories from the 2019 Rome Masters and last season at the Moselle Open on a hardcourt and that makes taking him to win at least two sets as the likelier winner a decent option here. It could be worth taking a one-off punt on this to go to five sets, though.
