Nadal vs Norrie. Predictions and Betting Tips for ATP Barcelona Open

Nadal had a great start of the season. In first two rounds of Monte-Carlo Masters he easily crushed Federico Delbonis and Grigor Dimitrov. But after that King of Clay sensationally lost to Andrei Rublev (2:6, 6:4, 2:6).

At Barcelona Rafa's shaky form continued. In his first match he had some problems to beat Belorusian player Ivashka (3:6, 6:2, 6:4). Second match, against Nishikori, also wasn't easy for Rafa. He easily took the first set 6:0, but then suddenly lost the second one (2:6), only in the third set Japanese player was finally beaten (6:2).

Norrie was never known as a good clay player. British played just a little more than 50 matches on that surface. Despite that, Cameron had a great start at Barcelona tournament. In first two rounds Norrie destroyed Salvatore Caruso (6:1, 6:2) and then Karen Khachanov (6:4, 3:6, 6:3). His quarter-final match wasn't played until the end though. David Goffin has withdrawn from the match when the score was at 6:0, 3:5.

Before that season Norrie played at Barcelona only once. In 2019 he was knocked out by Albert Ramos from the first round.
