Three-time Italian Open semi-finalist Casper Ruud is only seeded 23rd for this year's tournament. Round three in Rome sees him take on 11th seed Jiri Lehecka. A close match looks likely and our prediction is that Ruud can reach the last 16.
Whoever wins this match will be up against either eighth seed Lorenzo Musetti or 25th-seeded Francisco Cerundolo.
Ruud was a quarter-finalist here last year but made it to the semi-finals in 2020, 2022 and 2023. This year has seen him win six of his eight matches played on clay. His best run on this surface has been a last eight appearance in Madrid.
Ruud had few problems in his opening match of this outdoor clay court tournament. He beat Zachary Svajda for the loss of only four games. He leads Lehecka 2-0 in previous meetings, one on clay four years ago, and he has never lost a set to him.
Before this year's tournament, Jiri Lehecka had never won a match in the Italian Open with two defeats. Like his opponent, he has a 6-2 record on clay this year and he was also a quarter-finalist in Madrid.
Round two saw him beat Jan-Lennard Struff in straight sets.
We tip Ruud to win this match.
