In the first round match of the tournament in Bucharest, Argentine Mariano Navone will face Italian Luciano Darderi. Navone has been showing consistent play on clay this season, reaching the final of an ATP-500 tournament and displaying confident tennis. Darderi, on the other hand, is inconsistent, with his recent performances being unsuccessful. Navone is adapted to slow clay courts, giving him an advantage over Darderi, who has struggled in previous matches. Therefore, it is more likely that Mariano Navone will emerge victorious.
