A spot in the next round is at stake on Saturday, when Marco Cecchinato goes up against Nicolas Kicker in the Todi semifinal. Marco Cecchinato is rolling — 3 straight wins, 7 of 10 in recent play. Nicolas Kicker is 7-3 across recent matches.

Cecchinato's 67.2% behind the first serve (against 63.8% for Kicker) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Kicker comes in off a compressed schedule. The edge belongs to Cecchinato — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
