Esbri/Ruiz should enter this Italy Major matchup as the more established pair, with Ruiz’s experience in managing big-match tempo giving them a steadier baseline. Cabeza Teres/Gonzalez San Martin can compete if they speed up rallies and win the first-volley battle, but over a Major’s longer, higher-pressure phases the favorite tends to be the pair that protects serve and controls the middle. Prediction: Esbri/Ruiz in 2 sets, with danger if they start slow in windy/slow Roman conditions.
