Preview:
Corentin Moutet gave Rafael Nadal a harder fight in the second round, but the Spaniard still prevailed in straight sets to advance to the third round of the Australian Open. Prior to this event, Nadal’s clay-court dominance has dwindled, as seen in defeats in the quarterfinals of the Madrid Open and in the second round of the Rome Open.
Since the beginning of 2021, Rafael Nadal has a 24-5 record on clay in comparison to his results at the French Open. He has played 29 matches this year, averaging 33.2 games per set in five-set contests. Following his triumph on Wednesday, the Spaniard now has a record of 107-3 in lifetime matches at Roland Garros.
In his match against Fognini, the Dutchman van de Zandschulp delivered a strong performance and lived up to his status as the favorite. He was eliminated in the round of 32 at both the Italian Open and the Madrid Open, which were his two most recent competitions.
The Dutchman’s finest performance of the season to this point occurred in the Bavarian International, when he made it all the way to the championship round before finally losing to Holger Rune and retiring from the match.

Nadal vs Botic Prediction:
Van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands has performed well through the first two rounds of the event; but, as he has shown in the past, Nadal at Roland Garros is a totally other animal, and Van de Zandschulp has not exactly been on fire leading up to this competition. The Dutchman does have more firepower than either Jordan Thompson or Corentin Moutet to challenge Nadal, but he also is not anticipated to give much opposition on Friday.
Nadal is expected to win this match. Even while a victory in straight sets is possible, it is also possible that Rafael Nadal, who has won 21 grand slam titles, may struggle in one of these sets, which might result in an increase in the total number of games played.
Prediction: Rafael Nadal will win the match.
