RAFAEL NADAL VS MARIANO NAVONE PREDICTION

Not much can be said that hasn’t been said already about Rafael Nadal, so let’s focus on this particular tournament. As it stands, Nadal’s body has held up well and he has gotten through his opening two matches with little trouble, winning both in straight sets. His most recent success came against Britain’s Cameron Norrie in the Round of 16.

Whilst Mariano Navone won’t go down quietly and isn’t likely to fold to a heavy defeat, over the course of a set on clay court, Nadal’s superiority should tell. His sheer ability remains a clear level above Navone and another straight sets win looks to be on the cards.
