Having defeated Tommy Paul, Luciano Darderi will be hoping to extend his stay on home soil, and the Italian should enter Tuesday's clash with Alexander Zverev in Rome feeling confident, though after going three sets against Paul, does he have enough left in the tank to seriously challenge one of the best clay-courters on the planet? Looking at the early lines, it's worth betting that he does not.
While Darderi had to really fight to overcome Paul, Alexander Zverev defeat Alexander Blockx without breaking a set, winning in straight sets for the second time since landing in the Italian capital, where he's clearly feeling good. The German has barely put a foot wrong of late, with his only recent loss coming against world number one Jannik Sinner. He's worth supporting to see of Darderi without dropping a set, much as he did when the pair last met on clay.

Our Luciano Darderi vs Alexander Zverev Prediction
Luciano Darderi is in form, sure, and he also has the support of the Italian crowd, but let's be honest, even that might not be enough for him to really challenge Alexander Zverev, who has been in fantastic clay-court form, defeating each of his lower-ranked opponents in devastating fashion in recent times. Only Jannik Sinner has been able to upset the German, who performed like a player determined to go all the way during the last round.
