Jacqueline Cristian starts her run in Rome this week as the 33rd seed and is up against Karolina Pliskova in her first hurdle. This is their first career meeting, and our prediction for the match leans towards a Pliskova win.
Karolina Pliskova is competing in Rome with a protected ranking. Injuries have hampered the former world number one in recent seasons, including this one. Pliskova, who is a former Italian Open champion, started the season ranked outside the top 1000.
She has since clawed her way back into the top 130 and is currently ranked 123rd in the live rankings. The Czech star won her opening round match on her return to Rome, defeating Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in three sets.
She has now won 11 matches, with seven of those victories coming on clay.
Jaqueline Cristian will be hoping to have a much deeper run in Rome than in previous seasons. The Romanian, who is competing in the Italian capital for a third season, has never progressed past the third round.
Cristian is coming off an early exit in Madrid. She is finding the going tough on clay so far and overall in the entire season. A clay court specialist, Cristian is 2-3 on clay and 13-11 for the season.
She will start her campaign in Rome after dropping four places in the live ranking to 32nd.
