Nadal progresses in French Open

Rafael Nadal is looking in good form at Roland-Garros so far, winning his first two matches in straight sets. This is a relief for Nadal fans, as there have been concerns about the Spaniard’s foot injury issues in recent months.

However, Nadal has put those worries to rest with his strong performance thus far. In the first round, he defeated Jordan Thompson 6-2, 6-4, 6-2.

Then in the second round, he faced a tougher opponent in Corentin Moutet, but still emerged victorious with a 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 victory. If Nadal can keep up this level of play, he will be a strong contender for the title.

Rafael Nadal French Open Odds

Rafael Nadal is the second favorite to win the French Open this year according to online bookies. The Spaniard, who has a record thirteen french open titles, is priced at 3/1 having only played one tournament so far this year.

Rafael Nadal withdrew from the Australian Open in January due to injury but won his first title of the year at the Barcelona Open in April. Rafael Nadal has not reached a French open final since he won the title in 2014 but will be hoping to change that this year.

The Spaniard’s biggest rivals will once again be Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas who are both in form having won tournaments in the lead up to this year’s tournament in Roland Garros.

Nadal will be hoping to take advantage of his clay court experience and reach his fourteenth French Open final.

Head to head

Rafael Nadal is one of the most successful tennis players of all time.

He has won 20 Grand Slam singles titles, including a record 13 French Open victories.

However, despite his impressive pedigree, Nadal has never been able to mount a serious challenge at the Wimbledon Championships, where he has only reached the final on two occasions.

Nonetheless, Nadal remains one of the sport’s most popular and decorated stars, and he will be looking to add another French Open title to his collection when he takes on Botic van de Zandschulp in the third round on Friday.

Nadal has enjoyed a dominant run at Roland Garros over the years, but he was made to work hard for his victory over van de Zandschulp in their only previous meeting.

That match took place at Wimbledon in 2019, with Nadal eventually prevailing in five sets. However, given Nadal’s superior record on clay courts, van de Zandschulp will be aware that he faces an uphill task if he is to pull off an upset on Friday.

Rafael Nadal v Botic van de Zandschulp will commence at 2:30 pm local time (1:30 pm BST).
