Laslo Djere will give it another shot at the Rome Masters, hoping for fewer fitness issues. The Serbian faces Argentine Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the first round, which doubles up as their second meeting. The winner here will face Alex Michelsen next, and below is our prediction of the match.

A few days ago, a shoulder injury forced Djere out of the Madrid Masters. Injuries have been part of his battles this season, but in his last eight completed matches, he bagged five wins.

Clay is Djere’s forte, and he has already bagged a title on the surface this season. He comes into this match on a powerful 15-4 record on clay.

Etcheverry lost his only meeting with Djere, which happened two years ago on the Hamburg clay courts. He will hope to do better here, though he is not in very good form heading into the match.

In Madrid, he lasted just two rounds, falling to Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets. That marked a third defeat in four matches for the Argentine. In those defeats, he failed to win a set; all were in straights.

That just about gives a peek at the amount of work ahead of him. Etcheverry only won three of his last 11 matches. He has so far compiled a 10-14 record across all surfaces.
