Thiago Agustin Tirante vs Gianluca Cadenasso prediction
Thiago Agustin Tirante is up to his highest ranking of 69 in the world. He performed well in Houston last month, coming from a set down to beat Ben Shelton as he reached the semi-finals. However, he would go no further following a loss to Roman Andres Burruchaga. He also advanced to the quarter-finals of the Rio Open during the South American clay court swing.
His first-round opponent is Gianluca Cadenasso, who enters the event as a wildcard. The young Italian is ranked just inside the top 200. His last event was impressive as he got through to the last four of a Challenger event in Cagliari. This included wins over Mattia Bellucci and Jesper de Jong. He also won a Challenger in Asuncion earlier this year.
Tirante has impressed in recent weeks on this surface, and he will be expected to come out on top in this first-round match.
