Botic van de Zandschulp vs Alex de Minaur Prediction

Botic van de Zandschulp was handed a gentle enough first-round match as he eased past Jordanian wildcard Abedallah Shelbayh 7-5 6-3. The Dutchman played pretty well all-round but he faces a major step up in quality now as he comes up against second seed Alex De Minaur.

De Minaur was involved in a tough opening match with Roman Safiullin and while the 6-1 7-5 scoreline appeared comfortable, the Russian pushed him hard in tough windy conditions.

The pair have met twice before including one this year already as they clashed in the first round at the Australian Open. De Minaur eased to a straight-sets win 6-1 7-5 6-4 and his previous win came in the Davis Cup.

Van de Zandschulp is always capable of causing an upset but it is hard to go against De Minaur the way he is playing right now. Take the Australian second-seed with confidence.
