The ATP Masters tournament in Rome is underway and we’ve already got some very exciting match-ups to look forward to. On the sixth day, we’re being treated to showdowns between Top 10 player Holger Rune and the wall that is Sebastian Baez plus defending champion Daniil Medvedev takes on huge hitter Hamad Medjedovic. We’ve to predict these matches and more in the Italian capital. We also look at the rest of the day’s matches in a separate article<\/a>. Who do you think will advance?<\/p>\n

ATP Rome Day 6 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Hubert Hurkacz vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head: First meeting<\/h4>\n

Hubert Hurkacz may have beaten the King of Clay but don’t read too deeply into that. The Pole loves a freebie on his serve and will defend all day from the baseline if given the opportunity, two things Nadal was uncharacteristically giving out in abundance.<\/p>\n

Tomas Martin Etcheverry will ironically pose a bigger threat. Though there’s not much anyone can do about a well placed Hurkacz serve, from the back of the court Etcheverry has the weight of shot to consistently pose a threat. The Argentinian has been knocking on the door of a big result for a while–why not here in Rome?

Holger Rune vs Sebastian Baez<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head: Rune 2-1 Baez<\/h4>\n

One of the most unpredictable players on tour right now, Holger Rune is still grappling with the plethora of options at his disposal. He often doesn’t know whether to hang back, go hell for leather, play the drop shot, come forward — it’s shown in\u00a0many\u00a0<\/em>of his recent matches, most consistently choosing the wrong times to attack\/not to attack against big hitters.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Sebastian Baez will let him play a bit more within himself. The Dane has never really had problems with rally temperament so should be able to hang with the wily Argentinian, even if there’s a few bumps in the road along the way.
