Roman Safiullin vs Fabio Fognini Prediction & Betting Tips - ATP Chengdu Open
by Steve Ashfield in Tennis Predictions
Round one of the hard court Chengdu Open sees eighth seed Roman Safiullin face unseeded Fabio Fognini. Up next for the winner is either unseeded Juncheng Shang or wild card Kei Nishikori. Time for our match prediction.
Safiullin is ranked 56th but was a career-high 36th at the start of this year. The Russian is down to 68th in the live rankings because he’s defending all the points he earned when losing in the final of this tournament last year.
Can he go deep again in 2024? He did win a title in August, that being the hard court Challenger Tour event held in Cary. Back on the ATP Tour, he has lost in his second match in both Winston Salem and most recently, to Matteo Arnaldi in the US Open.
World number 79 Fabio Fognini continues to struggle to match the levels he showed five years ago when a career-high ninth. The Italian is up a place in the live rankings and 80th in the ATP Race. That’s only one place below his opponent in this match.
The 37-year-old has lost his last two matches and in his last tournament was beaten by Tomas Machac in the US Open first round. That Grand Slam is the only hard court tournament he’s played since March as he mainly plays on clay.
He is yet to win two successive ATP Tour hard court main draw matches this year. We tip Safiullin to win this match in straight sets.Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings
