Preview
This season, Iga Swiatek has been without a doubt the best player. She advanced to the Australian Open semifinals before winning her first WTA 1000 title in Doha. She followed it up with two consecutive WTA 1000 titles in Indian Wells and Miami. She then had a fantastic start to the clay-court season, winning the Stuttgart Open and currently holding a 21-match winning streak.
Elena-Gabriela Ruse has performed admirably this season. She advanced to the second round of the Sydney International, the Australian Open, and the Dubai Tennis Championships. However, she only won one match at the Golden Swing and had a slow start to the clay-court season, losing her first match in Stuttgart. She entered the main draw as a qualifier this week in Rome and defeated Shelby Rogers in the first round in three sets, 3-6,6-1,6-4.

Swiatek vs Ruse Prediction:
Swiatek is currently in a class of her own, and she is the overwhelming favorite to retain her title. She is on a 21-match winning streak and has demonstrated her dominance on clay as well. However, because this is her first match after a short break, she may be rusty, and Ruse will undoubtedly take advantage of this. Swiatek, on the other hand, should have an easy outing.
Prediction: Iga Swiatek will win in straight sets.
