THE PREDICTION

World number 52 Dominik Koepfer made short work of upsetting an out-of-sorts Frances Tiafoe in straight sets on Saturday, backing up a solid opener over Andrea Vavassori. The 30-year-old is at his best on clay, despite how a four-match losing streak on the surface coming into Rome looked, and he will be very tough to oust with this foothold in the draw just a she proved in a run to the last 16 at the Miami Open. World number 16 Tommy Paul went even further at Indian Wells, reaching the semi-finals before a three-set exit to runner-up Daniil Medvedev, but he too has struggled since a deep run on the Sunshine Double. The 26-year-old beat Aslan Karatsev in straight sets on Saturday to throw recent shortcomings aside, though, and he beat Koepfer in straight sets en-route to the Dallas Open title in February to look the solid favourite. Three sets seem likelier than two here so back Paul to win outright or consider taking the three-set option.

TIP: TOMMY PAUL TO WIN
