THE PREDICTION

World number 31 Botic van de Zandschulp received a bye to the round of 16 at the Marrakech Open as the third seed here after reaching the round of 16 at the Miami Open last month. The 27-year-old is a rock-solid all-courter who reached his maiden tour final on clay last season at the Munich Open before an injury saw him have to concede to Holger Rune and it will be interesting to see how he fares over the next few months. World number 87 Christopher O’Connell is one of only a few players who can claim to have taken a set from red-hot Daniil Medvedev this season after he lost to the Russian in three at the Qatar Open back in February. Recent results over Roberto Bautista Agut and Emil Ruusuvuori suggest the Aussie can enjoy his best season yet on tour but conditions certainly suit Van de Zandschulp in their first encounter. Back the Dutchman to win outright here with three sets a reasonable possibility.
