Command Analysis
Current form
Van de Zandschulp has played only one match this season. He lost to Nishesh Basavareddy in the qualifying round of the tournament in Auckland. Last year, the Dutchman won nine times and lost 11 times on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
Van de Zandschulp has played a season and a half or two at a really high level, but overall his game is inconsistent, especially in rallies. However, the Dutchman is versatile and capable of playing good tennis on any surface. He started his career as a clay specialist, but achieved his greatest success on hard. Botik is a resilient player, rarely withdraws from matches and is usually ready to fight to the end. However, at key moments his concentration and abundance of unforced errors let him down.

2.19Tip and bets
Van de Zandschulp is a tough opponent, but his playing condition at the start of the season is questionable. The loss to Basavareddy in the qualifying round in Auckland shows that Botic is far from his best at the moment. We believe that De Minaur will have an easy start at the home major.
Our prediction is De Minaur victory with a handicap of (-8) games at odds of 1.93
Bet on total
The only face-to-face meeting between the tennis players was played in three sets. However, in the upcoming match, we expect that everything will end rather quickly. Van de Zandschulp is currently far from his best playing condition, while De Minaur is on the move and is ready to show a decent result at the home Australian Open.
The second betting tip is total under 31 games for odds of 1.95
Bet on the first set
Three of De Minaur last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games, and we expect his upcoming encounter against Van de Zandschulp to start with a low first set as well.
Betting Tip - total under 9.5 games in the first set for odds of 1.59
