Fajta arrives as the heavy underdog ranked 567, but has won three consecutive matches on clay at this Kosice event, dropping just one set across those victories. The Hungarian faces a significant ranking disadvantage against world No. 225 Roncadelli.

Roncadelli enters as the clear favorite with a ranking advantage of 342 places over his Hungarian opponent. The Uruguayan has won four of his last five matches, though he recently suffered a straight-sets loss to La Serna.
