A spot in the next round is at stake on Thursday, when Francesco Passaro goes up against Oriol Roca Batalla in the Todi round of 16. Francesco Passaro has won 3 of the last 10. Oriol Roca Batalla is 3-7 across recent matches.

Passaro's 70.7% behind the first serve (against 67.7% for Batalla) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Passaro should have enough here, though Batalla has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
