In fact, that is the only face to face between both tennis players. The Spanish prevailed over the land of Paris by a resounding 6-3, 6-2 and 6-4. Obviously, things change a lot from clay to grass, but seeing the evolution of the Balearic Van De Zandschulp, he will have to give everything to leave him in the gutter.

On the other side of the net today will be the Dutchman Botic Van De Zandschulp, who at 26 years of age is ranked 25th in the ATP ranking after an amazing last year and a half. In the most recent big three he has only been eliminated by top 5 players, which speaks volumes for his growth. The Russian Medvedev, current number 1 in the world, was his executioner in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2021 and in the third round in Australia 2022, while in the last edition of Roland Garros he fell at the hands of Nadal, also in the third round.

Buenas tardes!

With Carlos Alcaraz already eliminated, Rafael Nadal is once again the great Spanish hope to lift the title at Wimbledon. The Balearic tennis player, despite not feeling comfortable on the grass of the ‘All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club’, has gone from less to more in the London tournament and is once again one of the favorites for the final victory.
