Botic van de Zandschulp vs Alex de Minaur prediction

Alex de Minaur did a very professional job vs Andrea Guerrieri, winning 6-2, 6-2, 6-4. He has reached the quarter-final in each of the last two years and that would be the minimum expectation for them. Botic van de Zandschulp was also a winner in three sets, defeating Jan Choinski. The Dutchman’s serve was impressive and 16 aces shows that de Minaur will have to be sharp when it comes to his return game.

When you compare these two players, de Minaur has the far higher ceiling in terms of skill. After a greatly disappointing French Open and Wimbledon, the Aussie and sixth seed should be locked in and ready to take charge from the off. When considering how impressive he looked in round one, backing de Minaur over van de Zandschlip in three warrants serious consideration.
