THE PREDICTION

World number 83 Marco Cecchinato set a career-high ranking of 16th back in 2019 built off the back of a superb run to the semi-finals at Roland-Garros the summer before. The Italian won three ATP 250 events on clay in those two peak years on tour before drifting quite rapidly away but he remains a threat on the surface to most players, including Mackenzie McDonald whom he beat in straight sets on Thursday. World number 25 Roberto Bautista Agut leads Cecchinato 2-0 in their head-to-head after most recently winning in three sets at this stage of the Madrid Open two years ago but the Spaniard has struggled with his form since defeat in the round of 16 at the Australian Open. A 4-9 record since Melbourne certainly leaves the door open for home favourite Cecchinato, particularly as Bautista Agut’s two matches in Madrid both saw three sets. Leave this one out of an accumulator but otherwise back Cecchinato to earn at least a set with home backing.
