Aside from his success in Barcelona, the Dane's other clay-court results have not been encouraging, as he had two opening-round retirements, one against Nuno Borges in Monte-Carlo and another against Flavio Cobolli in Madrid. At the Italian Open, he got a bye in the opening round and then had a hard-earned 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 win over Francisco Comesana in the final.

Holger Rune vs Corentin Moutet prediction
Rune has a decent record on clay, winning three titles from five finals on the surface, the last of which was in Barcelona a few weeks ago. His other two titles came at the BMW Open in Munich, where he won the title in 2022 and 2023, with wins over Botic Van de Zandschulp in both finals. He is a former finalist in Rome, losing 5-7, 5-7 against Daniil Medvedev back in 2023.
Moutet has no clay-court titles as he is yet to reach a final on the surface on the Tour. The Frenchman does have three clay-court titles on the Challenger Tour, the last of which came in Szczecin in 2022 with a 6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-4 against Dennis Novak in the final.
Rune is the favorite to win the upcoming match as the Dane has just won a clay-court title and is a higher-ranked player than Moutet.
Pick- Rune to win in straight sets.
