Berrettini has been the more successful player of the two, and he may use his powerful forehand and fast serves to dominate his opponent. Berrettini's serves have reached speeds of up to 235 km/h, and he will capitalize on this skill by targetting Ramos Viñolas' baseline play.

Matteo Berrettini vs Albert Ramos Viñolas
prediction
In the past year, Berrettini has won 76.47% of his matches, compared to Ramos Viñolas, who has won 50.72%. However, the Italian has faced players with a significantly higher average ranking, around 69, compared to Ramos Viñolas' 214. Berretinni has also competed in more competitive tournaments, such as those on the Main tour, winning 91%. Meanwhile, Ramos Viñolas has primarily played at the ITF/ Challenger level, winning 61% of those matches.
With Berrettini having already defeated Ramos Viñolas once, he would be hoping for a short encounter in the first round. His aggressive playstyle, which revolves around flat shots that put pressure on his opponents, contrasts with Ramos Viñolas' primarily defensive approach.
If the game reaches the deciding set, Ramos Viñolas may struggle, having defended 59% of his breakpoints compared to Berrettini's 70%. This will be a fixture to watch as both players have excellent court coverage and often enjoy coming to the net to finish their points off on the volley. This commonality in their game could result in either of them adopting a new strategy to cruise to the second round.
Pick - Berrettini to win in straight sets.
