Tommy Paul vs Aleksandar Vukic prediction
Tommy Paul suffered an early exit in Madrid last time out, losing his opening match to Thiago Agustin Tirante in straight sets. Nevertheless, he began his clay court swing in the best possible way as he won the US Men’s Clay Court Championship in Houston, defeating Roman Andres Burruchaga in an entertaining final. Paul has been competitive this season and seems to have overcome his injury struggles from 2025. His recent record in Rome is also impressive, with back-to-back semi-finals.
Aleksandar Vukic is his opponent after he ended a seven-match unbeaten run in round one. The Australian defeated Patrick Kypson in three sets. He created 12 break point opportunities in total and ran away with the deciding set as he sealed a 6-3 5-7 6-0 victory.
Paul is the clear favourite ahead of this second-round match in Rome, and this is likely to be a routine victory for the American.
