Home players are going well in the outdoor clay court Italian Open. Seven Italians made it into the last 32 and that includes Mattia Bellucci. Round three sees him face lucky loser Martin Landaluce and our match prediction is that Bellucci can reach the last 16.

We're guaranteed an unseeded player in the quarter-finals of this tournament. The winner of this match will take on either Mariano Navone or Hamad Medjedovic as the surprises continue in Rome.

Before this year, Mattia Bellucci had never had a main draw victory in the iIalian Open. That has all changed this year with wins over Roman Andres Burruchaga and then 24h seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

Bellucci is 68th in the live rankings, 20 places above his opponent.

Martin Landaluce was beaten by Andrea Pellegrino in the final qualifying round. The American then received a reprieve as a lucky loser and didn't just get put into the first round of the main draw but the second.

That slice of luck meant he was in round two of an ATP Tour clay court tournament for the first time. He then beat Marin Cilic and is now a career-high 88th in the live rankings. He's won all three of his previous matches against Bellucci but none were on clay..

We tip Bellucci to win.
