Yuliia Starodubtseva vs Simona Waltert prediction
Yuliia Starodubtseva will look to call upon her form in Charleston when she meets Simona Waltert in Rome.
The Ukrainian reached the final on American clay and sits 34 places better off in the rankings, so will feel good about building on a second round appearance in Madrid too.
Simona Waltert came through qualifying but has just the two wins so far this year, leaving little to suggest she will come up with the upset here.
