Jack Draper vs Matteo Berrettini prediction
Jack Draper will need to maintain a flawless record against Matteo Berrettini if he’s to reach the round of 16.
The British number one defeated the Italian in the final in Stuttgart last year before claiming victory in Doha back in February.
This third meeting will be their first on clay with Berrettini a force to be reckoned with on the dirt.
These conditions certainly suit the world number 31 as he demonstrated in his 6-7 7-6 6-1 success over Marcos Giron.
Draper was just as impressive as he edged an opponent with a similar big serve/huge forehand combo in Tallon Griekspoor.
It may have been the perfect dress rehearsal for the fifth seed and while Draper is having a stellar year so far, former finalist Berrettini is a major threat in this one.
Jack Draper vs Matteo Berrettini tip: Over 2.5 sets
