[Tennis- ATP Szekesfehervar Challenger] 13.3/ 12:00 F.Maestrelli- A.Pellegrino

In this matchup of two Italians, Pellegrino is currently the higher ranked player because of his solid form on clay in the second half of last season. He was able to crack the top 150 based on this form. Maestrelli has dropped to around 250 in the rankings after a poor end to last season. Last year, Pellegrino beat Maestrelli twice on clay, both in straight sets. Pellegrino hasn't played too many matches to start this year, but most have been on clay. He has put some decent performances in even in losses, and recorded a good win in his first round that will help his confidence. Maestrelli has been playing hard courts this season and his first clay match was in the first round, where he had a slow start but came out with a win vs a Hungarian wildcard. However, his clay record isn't too impressive compared to Pellegrino's, and it is not his preferred surface. Pellegrino displays better form and has more match practice on clay this year and combined with his h2h over his opponent, should be able to get the win.
