Roman Safiullin vs Fabio Fognini Prediction & Picks - ATP Chengdu Open

 by Lou Aguila | in Tennis Picks

ATP veteran Fabio Fognini of Italy will go head-to-head with Roman Safiullin of Russia on Wednesday in the first round of the Chengdu Open. Fognini, the former Grand Slam quarterfinalist, is set to play his first match since losing to Tomas Machac in straight sets 7-5 6-1 6-3 in the first round of the 2024 US Open championship. The 37-year-old ATP journeyman can still mix it up with a younger generation of tennis players, though it’s becoming obvious that his advanced age is starting to play a bigger factor in every match he plays. Safiullin is a 27-year-old Russian netter whose best finish in a Grand Slam was a quarterfinals appearance at the 2023 Wimbledon Open. Ranked No.57 in the world, Safiullin earned the No.8 seed in the tournament where he hopes his pursuit of a first ATP career title will come to an end.

Our Roman Safiullin vs Fabio Fognini Prediction

Fognini is 17-2 in first-round matches this 2024 while Safiullin is 8-13. However, Safiullin has played most of their matches on the Main tour, winning 42.86% of matches (W/L 9/ 12), while Fognini has spent most of the time on the Challengers/ITF tournaments > $10K, winning 60% of matches (W/L 21/ 14). This match could go either way, so picking the winner is sure tricky. All I know is Fognini remains a competitive player on the tour capable of coming through with an upset from time to time, especially if things are falling in his favor. And while I don’t guarantee a Fognini upset victory, I am confident that Italian will make Roman Safiullin earn every precious point in their match.
