🇦🇷 Camilo Ugo Carabelli: The Clay Court Specialist

With Carabelli ranked No. 60 in the world, he arrives in Rome with good momentum. His recent form (WWLLW) indicates that he is improving and growing in determination. He is a clay court specialist with 86% of ranking points won on clay. His stats for 2022 on clay courts also speak of this strength: 66% first serve percentage, 71% points won on the first serve, and 73% of service games won. On the flip side, his winning percentage on the second serve is only 43% while conversion of breakpoints is 36%. Nonetheless, Carabelli is good on returns, winning 49% of points on his opponents' second serves. 

In the first round, Carabelli defeated Pablo Carreño Busta of Spain 6-2, 1-6, 6-3, showing extraordinary menta strength in that he dominated in the first set, struggled in the next, but then got converted five games in a row in the last one. That was his very first clay court win at this level, meaning the very next day he moved up to a career-high ranking. He will need to show that fiery spirit again to even keep up with a top seed like Zverev.

🇩🇪 Alexander Zverev: The Defending Champion Returns

Alexander Zverev, ranked World No. 2 and defending champion in Rome, returns to defend his crown. The season has been quite rollercoaster, especially form-wise, reading WWWWL, with a winning title in Munich signaling the coming out of the fog. His clay court numbers-means: 78 aces, 73% of points won on the first serve, and a whopping 83% of service games held. Good on returns as well: 53% on opponents' second serves and 41% of break-point chances.

Zverev lost to Francisco Cerundolo in straight sets, 5-7, 3-6, in his last match, in Rome. Zverev was serving at a huge 81% on first serve but failed to get any break points and had trouble garnering control in the match. Zverev had admitted to mental fatigue earlier on in the season, and felt now he is back on track. With all media pressure allegedly nicknaming him "the worst World No. 2," Zverev will definitely want to prove the critics wrong. Rome is not just the place, but the right time to prove that he is still a big threat on clay.

🏆 Camilo Ugo Carabelli vs Alexander Zverev Match Prediction

This match would seemingly be one-sided, but clay really evens out the odds. Carabelli is riding high on his recent victory and has the weapons to cause even the best players trouble on this surface. However, Zverev is a clear favorite due to his experience and arguably his stronger-serving and returning games. Carabelli will almost certainly fight hard for every point and might even take a set away from Zverev, but the German should win in the end. The Argentinians' clay prowess might just be undervalued by the betting markets and this would be a nice play for value. A battle rather than a massacre will go down on the red dirt of Rome.
