ATP Rome Day 6 Predictions Including Matteo Berrettini vs Casper Ruud

ATP Rome Day 6 Predictions

Marcos Giron vs Hubert Hurkacz

Head-to-head – Giron 0-3 Hurkacz

Both players enter this tournament with middling results in 2025. Marcos Giron doesn’t play his best on clay and Hubert Hurkacz does play well on the clay courts. They have never played each other on clay but Giron has lost all three matches they have played before. Expect Hurkacz to play a solid match like he did in his first round match.
Prediction: Hurkacz in 2

Francisco Cerundolo vs Sebastian Ofner

Head-to-head – Cerundolo 2-0 Ofner

Francisco Cerundolo is having a great season so far and his recent showing at the Madrid Masters cemented his place as a contender for going deep at the French Open. He takes on Sebastian Ofner who has played well this week but will find himself a little out of depth against the heavy forehand by Cerundolo. Expect the Argentinian to proceed.
Prediction: Cerundolo in 2

Alex de Minaur vs Hugo Dellien

Head-to-head – de Minaur 2-0 Dellien

Alex de Minaur had made a strong start this week and he has a good draw to proceed further. The Australian faces Hugo Dellien who fought a tight battle in the first round but hasn’t had wins under his belt prior to Rome. Expect de Minaur to control the match with his consistent groundstrokes and move ahead.
Prediction: de Minaur in 2

Matteo Berrettini vs Casper Ruud

Head-t0-head – Berrettini 3-4 Ruud

Matteo Berrettini will no doubt enjoy the crowd’s support and he will need every bit of it against the in-form Casper Ruud who is fresh after winning Madrid last week. Expect a battle of forehands but as the game grows tight, it should be Ruud who is more decisive and confident in his shots. Berrettini should eke out a set but Ruud should be the one emerging as the victor.
Prediction: Ruud in 3
