THE PREDICTION

21-year-old Lucia Bronzetti is through to a maiden WTA final on tour, on home soil in Palermo, and she will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of at least 65th no matter the outcome. The Italian stunned a pre-tournament favourite in Caroline Garcia on Friday before coming back from a set down to beat her compatriot Jasmine Paolini in the semi-finals but she faces a seasoned professional here in Irina-Camelia Begu. 31-year-old Begu got her Palermo campaign underway sluggishly but the world number 45 has taken out two tough foes in Diane Parry and Sara Sorribes Tormo to reach the ninth WTA final of her career. The Romanian has a 50% win percentage in finals with four titles won, her most recent coming on home soil in Bucharest back in 2017, but her experience should tell here against a young first-timer. Home advantage, though, will sit squarely with Bronzetti and Italian crowds are renowned for their ability to bolster their players’ resolves.

Three sets seem likely and that makes taking Begu to win at least one the very cautious pick. Taking three sets and leaving the winner up to chance feels a reasonable if fairly squeaky risk.
