Lucia Bronzetti will compete in Rome as a wildcard and will start her tournament against McCartney Kessler in the first round. This will mark their first career meeting. Read on for our prediction of this match.
McCartney Kessler lost in the first round in her Rome debut last season and will be keen to not suffer another early exit. The American starts a new week looking to end a two-match skid.
Kessler lost her only fixture at the Billie Jean King Cup last time out. The loss came after she had been eliminated in Charleston in the quarter-finals. Currently 45th in the live ranking, Kessler has compiled a 10-9 record and has three wins in five outings on clay.
Lucia Bronzetti will hope that appearing in her home country event will give her the spark to turn around her season. The Italian is having a disappointing season thus far and, through 21 matches, has won just eight times.
Half of her wins, though, have come on clay, a surface where she has registered most of her career victories. A one-time tour champion on clay, Bronzetti lost in the second round in last year’s edition in Rome.
She is currently ranked outside the WTA’s top 170.
