Botic van de Zandschulp vs Jakub Mensik prediction
Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp is enjoying quite the week in Montreal having already beaten Hubert Hurkacz, Daniil Medvedev and then Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.
He has handled the big servers with great defensive play and plenty of character, and he now faces another test as he comes up against the talented Czech star Jakub Mensik.
Mensik has had a much easier route to the round of 16 as the 13th seed as he has beaten Jakob Fearnley and Terence Atmane to get to this stage.
The pair have never met on the ATP Tour and that makes this match even more intriguing. Van de Zandschulp has handled the big servers so far but it will be a different challenge against Mensik.
The Czech star will be fresh and raring to go here. His all-round game is strong and he will be confident of progressing here. We think this may be one match and one challenge too far for Van de Zandschulp and even if he takes a set, we think Mensik edges this.
