Van de Zandschulp vs. Nadal. Davis Cup Match Prediction
Van de Zandschulp and Nadal will meet in the quarterfinals of the Davis Cup final on November 19. Bookmakers favor Nadal in the upcoming match, but the current form of the famous Spaniard raises some doubts. Rafa undoubtedly remains one of the greatest players in the history of tennis, but this season his results are far from ideal. What bets should you pay attention to in this match? - find out in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Botic van de Zandschulp
NetherlandsCurrent form
Van de Zandschulp played his last official match at the Masters in Paris. In that competition, Botic failed to get past the qualification, where he lost to Lorenzo Sonego. Indoors, the Dutchman has three wins and four losses this season.
Professional qualities
Van de Zandschulp, although brought up on clay courts, prefers an aggressive style with an emphasis on fast combinations. His strong first serve helps him win many easy points, and his sharp forehand and backhand strikes allow him to actively seize the initiative in rallies. Botik also willingly goes to the net, where he shows a decent level of play.
Current indicators in the tour
Van de Zandschulp is currently ranked 80th in the world. The season has been chaotic for Botik. Although he has played two finals this year - on clay, he reached the finals of the Challenger in Branschweig and Lüdenscheid.
Interesting facts for betting
Van de Zandschulp last three matches on indoor hard courts have been high-scoring.
Rafael Nadal
SpainCurrent form
Nadal is ending his career. The Davis Cup will be the last tournament in the career of the famous Spaniard. The last time Rafa took to the court in an official match was at the end of July - then at the Olympics in Paris he lost to Novak Djokovic in the second round. Nadal has not won a single match in three indoor matches this season.
Professional qualities
Nadal is a tennis legend about whom almost everything has been said. His 14 Roland Garros titles and status as the King of Clay, backed up by 22 Grand Slam titles, speak for themselves. Nadal is known for his unbreakable will, his ability to win seemingly hopeless matches, and his signature pre-serve rituals. Rafa’s technical arsenal is impressive: his drop shots are not only effective but also graceful, his backhand hits with such force that the opponent has no time to react, and his forehand with incredible spin baffles even the best players.
Current indicators in the tour
Nadal is a former world number one, but is currently ranked 154th in the world. Rafa has played only 22 matches this season. His best result this year was the final of the clay court tournament in Bastad, where he lost to Nuno Borges in the final.
Interesting facts for betting
Nadal indoor record this season is zero wins in three matches played.

1.44Tip and bets
Bookmakers give the status of the favorite of the match to Nadal. However, we believe that Rafa is currently far from his best playing condition, so it will be extremely difficult for him to easily confirm the status of the favorite of the match. Moreover, the match will take place at an indoor venue that is not the Spaniard specialty, where he has not won a single victory this year.
Our prediction is Van de Zandschulp victory, odds 2.51
Bet on total
The match will most likely be a struggle. Nadal is not a clear favorite in this pair. Most likely, the tennis players will exchange sets in this duel.
The second forecast is total over 23 games for odds of 1.92
Bet on the first set
Nadal last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games. We expect Rafa upcoming match against Van de Zandschulp to also start with a low-scoring first set.
Forecast - total under 9.5 games in the first set for odds of 1.99
