Carlos Alcaraz vs Laslo Djere prediction
Carlos Alcaraz and Laslo Djere arrived in Rome following injury concerns. However, both players have hardly shown signs of struggle and have adapted well to the conditions in Foro Italico.
Alcaraz is one of the front-runners at the Italian Open. The Spaniard has suffered just one defeat on clay this season. Djere, on the other hand, has shown consistency on clay so far, but it will be an uphill task for him to get the better of the Spaniard.
Alcaraz enters the match as the favorite. He is expected to make a deep run in the tournament. His powerful forehand and dominance on clay will help him earn a straight-forward win over the Serb.
Pick: Alcaraz to win in straight sets.
