THE PREDICTION
Five-time Madrid Open champion Rafael Nadal looked vastly improved on his defeat to Alex de Minaur in the second round of the Barcelona Open last week, avenging that result in two impressive sets over the Aussie on Saturday amidst raucous home support. The 37-year-old has signalled that this will be his last season on tour and there is every chance that this could be his penultimate tournament ahead of a return to Roland-Garros, where he is an inimitable 14-time champion, but if he can maintain this level there is a slim chance at making the Paris Olympics – at least n doubles alongside Carlos Alcaraz.
World number 91 Pedro Cachin overcame fellow struggler Frances Tiafoe in three tight sets on Saturday to build on a surprise opener over Sebastian Ofner. The 29-year-old snapped a sorry 13-match losing streak on Thursday to bring some confidence back to his clay-specialist game but this should be too steep of a challenge, physically and mentally, as he takes on Nadal and what will feel like the entire Spanish capital on Monday. Back Nadal to reach the round of 16.
TIP: RAFAEL NADAL TO WIN
