Brush away those breadcrumbs and pay attention, because we've got a spicy meatball of a match here at the Internazionali d'Italia. On one side of the net, you have Holger Rune, the 9th seed, who's been smoking opponents like a fine Italian salami lately. Despite his unexpected slip-up against Cobolli F. recently, old Rune has been distributing breadsticks left and right, shutting out Alcaraz C., Khachanov K., and Ruud C. in straight sets.
On the other side, you have unseeded Francisco Comesana. He's been swinging his racket like a sweaty sous chef on steroids, but the results have been inconsistent, just like Mama's lasagna. Despite a recent zero-to-hero performance against Altmaier D., Comesana was whipped by Cerundolo F. following a string of wins.
I'm smelling a whiff of desperation from Comesana, like when Papa forgets the garlic bread in the oven, while Rune is serving up some esplosivo backhands and cold, hard, love. This isn't a fairy-tale, folks, I'm expecting Rune to dish out a hearty helping of defeat, al dente.
Albert's Prediction: Rune in straight sets.
