Nikoloz Basilashvili vs Botic van de Zandschulp prediction

Nikoloz Basilashvili notched a rare tour-level win with an impressive dismissal of Miomir Kecmanovic.

The Georgian qualifier raised an eyebrow or two with a 7-6 6-4 success over the solid Serb to tee up a maiden clash with Botic van de Zandschulp.

The Dutchman has been in excellent form of late with a run to the last eight at the US Open part of a sequence of 11 wins from his last 15.

Nikoloz rolled back the years against Kecmanovic but if Botic plays with the efficiency and consistency that saw him make big moves in New York, it’s hard to back against him.
