[Tennis- WTA Rome (Qualifying)] 8.5/ 19:00 F.Cerundolo- J.Sels

I am surprised that the bookmakers favor the Argentine so much in this match. There is no doubt that he is the favorite of this meeting, but in my opinion as much as the odds for this meeting indicate. Sels got to the chalenger finals and won, among others, a low-ranking ITF tournament, but as you can see, the clay surface is no stranger to him. On the clay courts, the Dutchman is clearly preparing for this tournament in Rome, he played four matches in Italy before this match, while the Argentine will play his first match in Italy this year. Without a doubt, I think that the Argentine is a better player than the Dutchman on this surface, but when it comes to this match, I expect Sels to fight. This year Sels does not have a good balance of victories, but looking at the previous year, I think that the tournament in Italy will be a good impulse to play better on clay courts, because he has undoubtedly shown that he can play on these courts more than once.
