ATP Rome Day 8 Predictions Including Karen Khachanov vs Casper Ruud

The ATP Rome Masters 2026 edition is into its eighth day with two blockbuster quarterfinals on the cards. Day 8 promises to be action packed and as ever, we preview and predict both matches for you.

This is an exciting match. Luciano Darderi has risen quickly through the ranks and the Italian is loving the home support on his run to the quarterfinals here. He faces the teenage sensation from Spain, Rafael Jodar, who has taken the tennis world by storm this year, as the 19-year-old has put up a fantastic clay court season so far.

Darderi fought long and hard against Alexander Zverev, running away with the third set 6-0. Jodar on the other hand has had a relatively easier path with a straight forward win over Learner Tien in the Round of 16.
