Cameron Norrie vs Luca Nardi prediction
Norrie has a 56 percent win ratio on hard courts in his career. The British player has reached nine finals, winning three titles on the surface. His last hard-court final was at the 2023 ASB Classic, which he lost to Richard Gasquet. The Brit's last hard-court title came back in 2022 when he defeated Reilly Opelka 7-6 (1), 7-6 (4) to win the Delray Beach Open.
Nardi has yet to win a title on the Tour, but the Italian's best performance till date came in Indian Wells last year. He secured a marquee victory over five-time champion Novak Djokovic and reached the fourth round as a lucky loser.
Nardi might have his best result at Indian Wells last year, but Norrie's overall experience should see the Brit win the match and advance to the next round.
Pick- Norrie to win in straight sets
