THE PREDICTION
21-year-old Sebastian Korda has been hard to pin down in recent weeks with wins over the likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Felix Auger-Aliassime as excellent as defeats to Carlos Taberner in Barcelona Lorenzo Musetti in Madrid are questionable. The American comes into the Italian Open at a career-high world number 30 and he should be able to go deep into the tournament in conditions that suit him after winning last season’s Emilia-Romagna Open on clay. However, 26-year-old Botic van de Zandschulp continues to upset the narrative on tour as the Dutchman recently set his career-high ranking at 31st after a run to the Munich Open final. Van de Zandschulp unfortunately succumbed to injury in that final but wins on clay against the likes of Pablo Carreno Busta, Casper Ruud and Miomir Kecmanovic put him well inside the top 30 players on clay right now.
The pair share a finely-poised head-to-head record at 1-1 with Korda most recently winning their only clay meeting at last month’s Monte-Carlo Open. For that reason, back the American to win at least a set here and leave the winner up to chance.
