Alexander Zverev vs Luciano Darderi Prediction & Picks - ATP Italian Open
by Edgar Jibran | in ATP Italian Open Picks
The ATP 1000 in Rome is going to close its Sunday’s calendar with a match between Alexander Zverev and Luciano Darderi, players that are really far away from each other in the ATP ranking, but it’s a fact that Darderi has been regularly competing over clay, so his adaptation could be a good factor to take into consideration for this match against a top 5 player like Zverev.
Also, it’s important to highlight that Zverev isn’t close to his best level, as he hasn’t been able to compete on any of the 2024 clay competitions disputed as of today. Even so, he had an amazing debut in this tournament after defeating Aleksandar Vukic in two straight sets (6-0, 6-4), performance that is expected to be kept during the following rounds, but he must try to commit less unforced errors.
On Luciano Darderi’s case, the Italian must be motivated for this tournament in Rome after reaching the semifinals of the Challenger in Cagliari, where he was eliminated by Mariano Navone (3-6, 5-7). However, the interesting fact regarding that confrontation is that both faced again during the second round of Rome, and Darderi was able to take revenge by eliminating Navone in two straight sets (6-3, 6-2).

- Luciano Darderi reached the semifinals not only in Cagliari, but also in the ATP 250 in Houston, where he was eliminated by Frances Tiafoe (6-2, 7-6).
- Alexander Zverev must be focused on overtaking his performance during the 2023 edition of the ATP 1000 in Rome, where he only reached the round of 16 before being eliminated by Medvedev (2-6, 6-7).
- Luciano Darderi didn’t participate in the 2023 edition of the Masters 1000 in Rome, so reaching the third round is a very nice achievement for this young player.
