On Thursday, in the Italian capital of Rome, Belinda Bencic and Bianca Andreescu will lock horns, fighting for a place in the second round of one of the best clay-court tournaments there is. On paper, this is a match that you would expect Bencic to win, though the Swiss competitor may not be as fluent as the early odds suggest. After all, she has a poor record at the Italian Open, where the conditions perhaps don't suit her game.
Moroever, Bianca Andreescu has already played a match in Rome, so she may be more adjusted than her Swiss opponent, who comes into this match off the back of a loss against a lower-ranked player last time out. Andreescu also defeated a few of the big dogs in Rome last year, so don't be too surprised if she more than holds here own here.

Our Belinda Bencic vs Bianca Andreescu Prediction
As mentioned above, a quick glance at this match would leave you to conclude that Belinda Bencic is an incredibly likely winner, thugh if we scratch beneath the surface, the Swiss player may be a less liekly victor than the early odds suggest.
For starters, she hasn't yet played in Rome in 2026, while Andreescu has. What's more, she has a poor record at this tournament, while Andreescu played very well here a year ago, leaving us to say that the Canadian can do better than her early odds would initially have us believe.
