This round of 64 matches at the Italian Open in Rome will pits Grigor Dimitrov, who finished 15th against the very Francesco Pasaro of Italy.
Undoubtedly, Italian is sure to get tremendous support from the crowd today, but will it be enough against high ranked Dimitrov, the question is.
Dimitrov started the year with injury problems, which led to him retiring in the finals of Brisbane International, where he was a defending champion. After carrying a hip injury to the Australian Open, Bulgarian once again retired in the first round. Since Indian wells, however, Dimitrov has hit some forms, which is in the semi -finals in Miami, where he lost to Novak Djokovic.
Passaro, which currently ranks 101, has very little experience of playing the main draw match at the highest level. Italian can find it difficult to achieve Dimitrov today, with just 3 matches at the top level on the tour this year.
