Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard vs Botic van de Zandschulp prediction
Botic van de Zandschulp returns to hardcourts eager to kick-start his 2026.
The Dutchman has chalked up consistent results for much of the season but has dipped of late with just three wins from his last 11.
First up here, the world number 69 takes on Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard for the second time.
The towering Frenchman has also struggled for main draw victories but is statistically at his strongest on hardcourt.
That said, Botic came out on top by a score of 6-4 7-5 in the last four in Winston-Salem last year and we’d expect a similar outcome with plenty of games.
