Arthur Fils vs Holger Rune Prediction: Young Frenchman Isn't Easy Target

Prediction for the ATP Rome match, which will take place on May 12th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Before the Rome Masters, Fils played three clay tournaments but without much success. But in Rome, the Frenchman has already won over Peniston, Shevchenko, and Cerundolo, a difficult clay courter. The last match lasted two hours and 12 minutes, 6-1, 1-6, 6-4 in favor of the Frenchman. During the game, he made six aces and two double faults, winning 63% of points on the first serve and 62% on the second; reception statistics: 44%/41%, statistics of winners/unforced errors 30/25.

In late April, Rune won a tournament in Munich, beating Van de Zandschulp in the final. But in Madrid, he did not do his best. First, with great difficulty, Holger defeated Bublik in three sets but then lost in the third round to Davidovich Fokina 6-7, 7-5, 6-7. Twelve days had passed since then, and the Dane should have enough time for rest after hard tournaments in Monte Carlo and Munich.

Fils is improving, but Rune has become a top player in a year, evident in both the results and ranking. Holger came to Madrid after two tournaments. Recall that he reached the final in Monte Carlo and won in Munich. It was in Madrid that the slump and defeat occurred. Since then, enough time has passed, Rune has appropriately prepared for the Masters in Rome, and we expect the Dane to get off to a solid start.
