THE PREDICTION
17-year-old Vittoria Paganetti was handed a wildcard by the Italian Open to make her WTA debut here in Rome and she should be given the bigger support as the underdog in this all-Italian affair. Fellow wildcard Lucrezia Stefanini set a career-high WTA world ranking of 99th this time last season but she has fallen back significantly to enter Rome at 179th and very little form to suggest that this will be a comfortable opener. Facing a teenage home hopeful is usually a thankless task but Stefanini may feel hard done by if she ends up playing the villain on home clay, with the result of this match depending heavily on how Paganetti responds to the occasion. Stefanini should be winning in comfortable straight sets but there is a reasonable chance of three here. Leaving this match be is probably the wisest course of action.
TIP: LUCREZIA STEFANINI TO WIN
