One of Saturday's most interesting matches at the ATP event in the Italian capital of Rome is the one between Andrea Pellegrino and Arthur Fils. This is Italy taking on France, and although the early odds suggest that the player from the latter nation should get the job done without a fuss, it is the Italian who could cause a shock. While Fils is yet to play a match at this tournament, Pellegrino has defeated three higher-ranked players, and it's fair to say that he's seriously thriving on home soil.
Sure, Fils is the superior player, but he really hasn't made light work of starting tournaments off in commanding fashion of late, dropping sets first time out in both Barcelona and Madrid, so there looks to be a greater chance of Pellegrino challenging the French player than the early odds suggest, especially as he'll have the home crowd behind him.

Moreover, Andrea Pellegrino has the advantage of having played several matches in Rome already, so he should be much better adjusted to the conditions.
