LiontipsBotic van de Zandschulp vs Rafael Nadal. Prediction and Betting Tips for Wimbledon 2022 (July 4, 2022).
Command Analysis
Few experts believed in Botic van de Zandschulp's success before the start of Wimbledon 2022. The Dutch player didn't do well in 's-Hertogenbosch or Mallorca, but managed to make a deep run at the London Major. He looked confident in all three matches here and beat Feliciano Lopez (6-2, 6-3, 6-3), Emil Ruusuvuori (3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4), and Richard Gasquet (7-5, 2-6, 7-6, 6-1) to reach the last 16.
Rafael Nadal started his Wimbedon 2022 campaign by defeating Francisco Cerundolo (6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4) and Ricardas Berankis (6-4, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3) in hard-fought matches. Lorenzo Sonego failed to create problems for Rafa in the third-round match - the 22-time Grand Slam champion didn't give the Italian any chance(6-1, 6-2, 6-4).
