Berrettini vs Rune prediction
On the side of Berrettini, victory in a personal encounter. In all other respects, the Scandinavian has the upper hand. Well, judge for yourself. Matteo hosts his first tournament since AO-2023, and Rune has since played Davis Cup in Montpellier and Rotterdam. Matteo’s rivals in Acapulco did not have a single really strong opponent, so the Italian definitely does not cope with training. Well, Holger has clearly improved over the year since the guys played against each other, now Rune is a top 10 ATP player. We believe the match will not be easy for either side and the Dane will ultimately win in three games.
The main prediction is for Rune to win at 1.77
