THE PREDICTION

22-year-old Luciano Darderi will break inside the top 70 for the first time after a career-best ranking win over second seed Francisco Cerundolo on Wednesday. The Italian produced a stunning run to the Cordoba Open title in February, upsetting Sebastian Baez en-route, and he has proven himself one to watch this clay swing with impressive performances so far in Houston.

World number 51 Marcos Giron recently finished runner-up to Tommy Paul at the Dallas Open on hardcourts and he has so far impressed in his return to Texas, beating Denis Shapovalov and JJ Wolf without dropping a set. This first match with a proper clay-courter should prove his toughest yet this campaign but home support will be a big boost to the 30-year-old, who will be a thoroughly popular champion if he can finally claim a maiden trophy this weekend. Darderi’s two three-set wins so far suggest backing Giron to earn at least one is the sensible way to avoid a result here.
