There are loads of interesting matches taking place at the ATP event in Rome on Wednesday, several of which catch the eye in a betting sense, though few are more appealing than the clash between Federico Cina and Alexander Blockx. This looks like a massive opportunity for the Belgian player to continue his fine clay-court form, so much so that he's worth betting on to win by a relatively comfortable margin.
Blockx played some superb stuff in Madrid last week, defeating defending champion Casper Ruud to reach the semis, and although he came up short against world number three Alexander Zverev, we can expect him to impress during the early rounds in Rome. His recent form in matches of this nature tells us that he ought to beat a player who is ranked outside of the top 200 without much of a fuss.

Our Federico Cina vs Alexander Blockx Prediction
Federico Cina does not bring any sort of impressive clay-court form to the table. In fact, the Italian has been struggling on this surface, and he's been struggling against lesser players than Alexander Blockx, who in the last few weeks, has played some of the best tennis of his career.
The Belgian looked very hot in Madrid last week, and although the conditions are slightly different in Rome, he has more than enough quality to brush his lower-ranked opponent aside.
