Nadal vs Fritz final Prediction
Nadal has won 36 1000 ATP Masters throughout his career and 3 titles in the current season including the Mexican Open and Australian Open. His winning streak is raised to 20-0 by defeating Alcaraz in the semifinal. Nadal is much more experienced rather than Taylor Fritz. The 21 grand slam winner is in the mood to win more trophies this year. Fritz has to be more consistent to defeat Nadal.
Fritz faced Nadal a year ago for the first time in his career and it was on a big stage at the Mexican Open final, where Nadal won the final. If we talk about stats Fritz is far away from Nadal. Because the youngster just started his career and has only won 1 title. But anyway, Tennis is a game and anything can happen in the final.
According to stats, Nadal is the favorite in the Nadal vs Fritz final in BNP Paribas Open, though you can’t ignore the threat of Fritz. However, Our Pick of the winner is Rafael Nadal.
