Diaz Acosta&#8217;s superior clay-court pedigree and consistency should see him control the match. Expect the Argentine to advance in straight sets.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Acosta in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Nikoloz Basilashvili vs Jan Choinski<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head &#8211; First Meeting<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\"><smartframe-embed class=\"smartframe_wp_element\" customer-id=\"b0c95bc04383cef69c6b47df872135cf\" image-id=\"WmOBfBoOvasR\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 3543px; aspect-ratio: 3543\/2362;\" ><\/smartframe-embed><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Nikoloz Basilashvili<\/span><\/span> has struggled for form coming into this tournament, while <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Jan Choinski<\/span><\/span> arrives full of confidence after winning a Challenger title. Choinski&#8217;s serve has been a major weapon recently, and if he maintains that level he should be able to pressure Basilashvili into errors. Expect the Brit to dictate play and progress.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Choinski in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Miguel Damas vs Adolfo Daniel Vallejo<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head &#8211; First Meeting<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Miguel Damas<\/span><\/span> will be making his main-draw debut at this level, presenting a significant challenge. <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Adolfo Daniel Vallejo<\/span><\/span> is an exciting young talent who has already shown he can compete consistently on clay. His superior baseline game should allow him to take control of the rallies. Expect Vallejo to come through comfortably.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Vallejo in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Sebastian Baez vs Max Dahlin<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head &#8211; First Meeting<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2026\/05\/05\/atp-rome-day-1-predictions-baez-brooksby\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Sebastian Baez<\/span><\/span> <\/a>will view this tournament as another opportunity to add a clay-court title to his collection. He opens against qualifier <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Max Dahlin<\/span><\/span>, who is making his first main-draw appearance. Baez&#8217;s movement, consistency, and ability to open up the court from the baseline should prove far too strong.
