ATP Rome – Comesana vs. Rune

ATP Rome – Comesana vs. Rune

🧠 Form & Context

Holger Rune
The Danish prodigy finally broke his title drought by capturing the ATP 500 crown in Barcelona, defeating Carlos Alcaraz in a high-profile final. It was his first win over a top-5 opponent since 2023, signaling a return to elite form.

Unfortunately, that momentum was short-lived. Rune retired from his Madrid opener against Flavio Cobolli due to injury, continuing a frustrating pattern of physical setbacks interrupting his campaigns. He’s reached the later stages in several major events this year—such as the Australian Open (R4) and Miami (final)—but consistency week-to-week has been elusive.

Still, Rome holds good memories: Rune was the runner-up here in 2023, taking out both Novak Djokovic and Casper Ruud in the process. He arrives with confidence at this venue, and if fit, he’s one of the most dangerous players in the draw.

Francisco Comesana
Comesana may still be an unfamiliar name to casual fans, but he’s already making noise on the big stage. The Argentine owns a stunning 2–0 record against top-10 opponents and has defeated 4 of the 5 top-20 players he's faced, including Alexander Zverev in Rio and Arthur Fils in Madrid.

He lacks a consistent body of ATP-level results, but he clearly embraces the underdog role. With aggressive shot selection and fearless baseline play, Comesana often elevates his game against elite opposition.

This is still a learning curve for him at the Masters 1000 level, but with his track record of springing upsets, Rune would be wise not to take this one lightly.
