Prediction and Conclusion
Stefanos Tsitsipas has been playing well in Rome for years now, while Nicolas Jarry won his first main-draw match this year. Tsitsipas is picking up his form on the clay court and looks like a real contender to win here and go deep in the upcoming Roland Garros. Jarry has a winning record against him, but Tsitsipas won their only previous matchup on clay. Despite going this deep in Rome, Jarry was struggling for the entire month, losing three straight matches. Tsitsipas is definitely in better form and will advance to the semifinals.
